!BIRTH-PARENTS-CENSUS-MARRIAGES-BURIAL: Stephen A. White, DICTIONNAIRE GENEALOGIQUE DES FAMILLES ACADIENNES; 1636-1714; Moncton, New Brunswick, Centre d'Etudes Acadiennes, 1999, 2 vols.; p. 917; own copy. !NAME: Spelled with an accent over the first E of Ce'cile. !CENSUS: 1678, Port Royal, Acadia. The 10 unnamed children were ages 17 (boy, b. 1661; probably Antoine), 15 (girl, b. 1663; probably Madeleine), 14 (boy, b. 1664; probably Claude), 13 (girl, b. 1665; probably Cecile), 11 (girl, b. 1667; could be either Jean or René with misidentified gender), 5 (boy, b. 1673; possibly Marguerite with misidentified gender), 3 (girl, b. 1675; possibly Germain with misidentified gender), 2 (boy, b. 1676; possibly Jeanne with misidentified gender), and 1 (girl, b. 1677; possibly an infant Abraham with misidentified gender).
