Article genealogybank.com  The Quebec legislature a few days ago passed a bill offering 100 acres of land to every man who is the father of twelve children. The persons entitled to this novel bonus appear to be numerous. At Trois Pistoles there are two families, named Roulette and Belzil, who each have fifteen living children. Another named Gingras, in Bellechasse, has no fewer than thirty-four children born to him. Still another named Cretion, in L'Islet, has twenty-seven, and one Villancourt, in Kamouraska, has just had his thirty-seventh infant baptized.

I am David Joseph Royer, my grandfather (Edouard Royer) was born in St. Neree. My Grandmother (Amarylis LaCroix) was born in Armaugh. I visited both villages, and was happy, but in visiting the St. Neree Cemetery, I did not know what to do as the first marker was named for someone with the name David Royer. I was named for my great Uncle Dave who died in 1944 about 4 years after my birth. gentlevikingwolf@aol.com 5/19/2012 6:34:16 PM
