Pat

you realize that many times the witnesses to burials were the Church sexton
or verger "bedeau" and maybe a cemetery worker for the Church and not a
relative of the deceased .....didn't mean they weren't there ...............if
you look at other burials around the same time, you'll see its often the same
witnesses at each burial

Hi Mona,

I just read the parish record at ancestry.com and I think what happened
was, the priest wrote his age as soixante, or 60, then left a blank
space so he could fill in the exact age, but never did. He was 66. The
witnesses were Louis Lemoine and Joseph LeBoeuf, who did not sign, the
priest was F. (?) Martel, who did sign. He was buried on 8 Jun 1788 in
the parish cemetery.

I hope this clears up a little mystery, if adding another. Where WAS the
family.
