!BIRTH-PARENTS-CENSUS-MARRIAGE-DEATH: Stephen A. White, DICTIONNAIRE GENEALOGIQUE DES FAMILLES ACADIENNES; 1636-1714; Moncton, New Brunswick, Centre d'Etudes Acadiennes, 1999, 2 vols.; p. 143; own copy. She died (Belle-Ile-en-Mer Declaration) between the census of 1678 and 1684.

!BIRTH-MARRIAGE: Bona Arsenault, HISTOIRE ET GENEALOGIE DES ACADIENS; 1625-1810; Ottawa, Editions Lemeac, 1978, 6 vols.; p. 431 (Port Royal); own copy. Madeleine BLANCHARD, born 1643, daughter of Jean & Radegonde LAMBERT, married Michel RICHARD. In husband's entry on p. 753, married about 1656. [She would have been only 13 or so? First child born in 1657.]

!NAME-MARRIAGE: Jerome Lepre, "The Acadians of Belle-Isle-en-Mer"; 1635-1767; NEW ORLEANS GENESIS, Vol. 34, no. 135 (Jul 1995); p. 332; Santa Cruz County Genealogical Society Library. Wife of Michel dit Sans Soucy, who came from France and married at Port Royal to Anne [sic] BLANCHARD and both died there.

!CENSUS: 1671, Port Royal, Acadia, age 28 [so born around 1643], one of the married children mentioned in parents' entry on [p. 4]. Name spelled Magdeleine. Also in own entry on [p. 12] with husband Michel RICHARD, age also 28 and name spelled Magdeleine, with 7 children, ages 14 to twin daughters 5 weeks old.

!CENSUS: 1678, Clarence J. d'Entremont, "Recensement de Port-Royal," in MEMOIRES DE LA SOCIETE GENEALOGIQUE CANADIENNE-FRANCAISE; vol. 22, no. 4; p. 235; sent by PERSI in Jun 1999. On verso of Folio 20: there are two entries for Michel RICHARD, 1st with Madelaine BLANCHARD (no children listed), 2nd alone as Michel RICHARD, with four boys age 22 to 10, and five girls ages given 8 to 1 [daughter Catherine would have been around 15, unmarried--check original--was she omitted]. [Was Madeleine alive for the 1678/1679 census, or died during it, hence the second entry?] [Check her age.]

!CENSUS: 1686, Port Royal, Acadia [p. 8]. Age 56, married to Jeanne BABIN, 18. There are 6 children listed, ages 19 to 2, and 5 who are married [his, obviously]. The youngest, 2-year-old Michel, is their child. The household owns 2 guns, 12 arpens worked land, 16 cattle, 30 sheep, and 8 pigs.

!DEATH: Before second wife Jeanne BABIN remarried ABT 1689.

!CHILDREN: "Note: Some genealogist including Bona Arsenault [But not listed in Arsenault, H&G, p. 753 with father's family, either.] place a son Michel, second in birth order, born in 1660 and marries Jeanne BABIN" in Acad. Des., vol. 4, p. 344. Not on the 1671 census with rest of family, when age would have been about 10. Probably due to the reluctance to accept Jeanne BABIN's marriage to this Michel, who was 53 when they married, 38 years older than she.

!DEATH: LDS Ancestral File. Between 1679/1683, Port Royal,

!DEATH-CENSUS-MARRIAGE: Not on 1686 census. Husband remarried around 1683; first child of that marriage born 1684.
