Re Magdeleine May Denonville I've also seen Denonville sometimes spelled Desnonville, and Magdeleine as Madeleine. You may have Desire listed as Jean-Baptiste. For some reason, he was called Desire as and adult and all of his records are under that name. Desire is not one of the names on his baptismal record, so it is a bit confusing. In the 1861 Quebec census, he is Jean-Baptiste. The census lists Ambroise, age 57 and his children:
Marie Magdeleine,age 26
Misael, 20
Armenie, 16
Louis, 14
Charles, 12
Jean-Baptiste, 10
Elmire, 8
Antoine, 31
