The Marie Mathilde Goulet that I am looking for was born March 29 or 30, 1851 in Joliette, Quebec, Canada. She was the daughter of Olivier Goulet and Marie-Odile Coutu. She is listed in the census of 1861 and 1871 and then she disappears. I have searched the Drouin files for every Marie Mathilde and cannot find her although some of the entries were not readable. I checked immigration files but to no avail. If anyone has any information on this person, I would love to hear from you. She is the only relative missing from my tree. I even e-mailed St. Thomas parish but they did not reply. Thank you for any help you can give me. Lillian Gourd

Marie Mathilde Goulet was born 29 Mar and baped 30 Mar 1851, St-Thomas (Joliette), PQ, CN.

I found 16 bap records, 3 burial records, and 12 marriage records for children of Olivier Goulet and Marie-Odile Coutu.

I found no marriage record for Mathilde, perhaps she became a nun?

These parishes has various records for this line: The bulk were in Ste-Élisabeth (Seigneurie Dautray) and St-Thomas (Joliette), a few other's in these parishes: St-Félix-de-Valois, Berthierville (Berthier-en-Haut), St-Charles-Borromée-de-l'Industrie (Cathédrale de Joliette), and St-Calixte-de-Somerset (Plessisville).

I used (fee based) /www.genealogiequebec.com to rough out the line.

A (free) cleaner/clearer copy of the parish records can sometimes be found on familysearch.org: https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1321742.

Thank you for trying to find Mathilde and your suggestions. I e-mailed St. Thomas and even wrote my message in French but they did not reply. Even if Mathilde had become a nun, she died eventually and there should be a record of her death somewhere. I have looked at Family Search but none of the Matilde names matched the birth date or age. I live in Florida and I am not familiar with genealogiequebec but I will look into it. Thanks again, Lillian
