from 1817-1822 all of the children of Joseph Precourt and Therese Boisvert appear in the records of St Antoine
-
EXCEPT 1820 child Antoine Precourt
-
Now after 20 years of off-and-on searching Bernard Vanasse sent me the record of that 1820 child from Nicolet, in adjacent Nicolet County, Quebec
-
my compilation of that child at
