Drouin Collection, Baptismal Register for Louis Charles Couvret 1833
I spent five hours today, searching for my great-great grandfather’s baptismal record. The name in the index was so weirdly misspelled that I wasn’t hitting it, even using wildcards and narrowing by keyword. It had to be there somewhere, though. I knew the where and the when, based on the baptismal dates of the other children and where they were baptized, so I ended up searching for all baptisms at the Basilique Notre-Dame in Montréal, limited by the year 1833. From there, I had to view images of dozens and dozens of pages, before finding the one I wanted.
Victory is mine!
