Same problem here! Could you save it to your computer, Trista, and then attach that file here?

Here's a start:
On the 19th of October 1857, I the undersigned priest with care of this parish, baptised Joseph, born yesterday to the lawful marriage of Joseph Roussel dit Davia, farmer, and Emily Hudon dite Beaulieu of this parish. Godfather Achille Hudon dit Beaulieu, godmother Philomêne Roussel dite Davia, who have not ........ Father absent.
(Signed) Ch. Bégin (?)....

I couldn't make out the bit at the end which seemed to relate to the godparents, and I'm not 100% sure of the surnames, but hopefully this will help a bit.

Wow Thank you, I do believe you guys just cracked a line in the family that we never
thought, could be done. This Joseph Roussel I believe dies in a fire in 1888 in Hull, Quebec. And all documents for him I thought was burnt.
Thanks

I've come across discussions about "dit/dite" names in relation to family history programs and how they handle them. I believe it might be some kind of alias or nickname, but as I know next to nothing about French Canadian research, someone else will have to give a definitive answer. (There's a short paragraph about it towards the bottom of the Wikipedia page on "Surname", but again, I couldn't say how accurate it is.)
