Section 7 · Open Questions & Documents Still Needed
Marriage of Joseph Rocbrune and Marie-Josephe Georgeteau Not Found
Before 27 September 1788. Searched: the typed index to the Oka registers, 1786–1788 — no entry. The register pages for 1787–1788 have not been read page by page.
Next: Sault-au-Récollet (her baptismal parish), 1786–1788; then Vaudreuil and Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue.
Baptism of Jean Marie, son of Joseph Not Yet Located
Present with his brother Joseph at their father's burial in July 1815. No baptism has been found.
Where: Oka 1789–1801; Rigaud from 1802.
Baptism of Josephte, daughter of Thomas Not Yet Located
A minor at her marriage in January 1818. A baptism would complete Thomas's household with an act from her infancy.
Where: Oka c. 1797–1801; Rigaud from 1802.
The Brothers' Own Baptisms Abstract Only
Thomas (1761), Joseph (1764) and Jean-Baptiste (1747) are known from the typed abstract of the mission registers. No image of the pre-1786 originals has been located.
Where: parish of L'Annonciation, Oka; Diocese of Saint-Jérôme; Sulpician archives, Montréal.
Thomas's Other Children To Trace
Read the full PRDH family records for all three couples in the French interface and test every child against the acts in Sections 2–4.
A second Thomas Rocbrune, son of Jean-Baptiste and Marie-Josephe Brabant, may appear in that family's record; if so he must be tested against the 1850 burial.
Doubtful Readings Confirm
1770: the surnames of the godparents, read as Paquet and Lemay. 1839: the witnesses' surnames and the priest. 1812: the witness read as Arbeau. 1822: the bride's friend, read as Henry Leroy (Lemay possible). 1850: the witness read as Laurin.
