====================================

Thank you for the information however now I wonder if this is the right Thomas May for my family.The Thomas I have shows his mother as Felicite Sherman married to Etienne May.You have the mother as Marguerite Chevreau.I believe Thomas had brothers Etienne married Catherine Bincet at Laprairie and Joseph married Catherine Payant at Lapraire.Do you think you might be able to help me figure this out?

Thank you

You are right, it's a mistake.

Thomas Mai (MAY)
Birth: in Meunier de St. Cyprien

Etienne Mai
Sex: M
Note:
Some records show Etienne's birthplace as England and another as Acadia... neither confirmed at this time.

At the time of Joseph's marriage in 1827, Etienne May was described as a miller in the parish of Ste. Marguerite de Blairfindie. Isabelle Sherman, mother of Joseph was deceased at the time of his marriage.

Marie Anne was born in 1805 and is the only birth date I have for any of Etienne's children... she was born in the parish of Ste. Marguerite de Blairfindie
