Some French lines are shown for some popular names, in particular families from Perche and La Rochelle, and lines from Catherine Baillon and Marie Martin. But many more European lines are known and only the reference is given. |

| Review | The best work that could be done with tools
of that time (1973 to 1983). The most recommanded reference work.
The editor has received a typed manuscrit, which explain some typos (it was completely typed again for editing purposes). There are some worng parents, nearly all corrected in the GDO. The more common mistake is the wrong place of origin (wrong province, wrong canton, etc.). |

Meaning:
This article covers the family of Andre Jarret and Marguerite Anthiaume. Andre is the son of Jean (who died before Andre was married) and Perrette SERMETTE. Andre is from Royas, arrondissement (2nd level divisions in France) of Vienne, archeveche (archdiocese) of Vienne, province of Dauphine (obsolese divisions in France), French departement (1st level divisions in France) of Isere. The canton (ca.) (3rd level divisions in France) and commune (com.) or town (4tht level divisions in France) can also be shown. The town is usually identified from a dictionnary of French towns (that is, hamlets were not checked nor changes of place names). In the original records, the town and diocese are usually shown, nearly never the province and the departements were invented in 1792 only. In many cases, a more accurate place of origin is known from further searches in France.
This couple was married in Montreal the January 12th, 1676. There is a marriage contract by notary Basset, also dated 12 of the same month and year. In some cases, the marriage contract is lost and the date is from an inventory after death or another source. Contracts before 1700 are thosein PRDH. For period after 1700, they were checked only if the name of parents was not known.
