Drouin Collection records for Saint-Nicolas begin with 1694

According to PRDH, a marriage contract was signed between Andre Bergeron and Marguerite Dumais at an undetermined place in Quebec, Canada in 1673.

"In New France there was a worthy family who had lived in the Colony since 1654, that of Jean Dumets or Demers and of Jeanne Voidy. The head of the family was a native of Saint-Jacques de Dieppe in Normandy; the wife, from Saint-Germain-du-Val, in Anjou. Their eldest daughter, Marguerite, was baptized on 21 October 1659. Gilbert Barbier and Barbe Poisson held her at the baptismal font of Ville-Marie."

"The Demers were living in the seigneurie of Lauzon at that time. Andre met Marguerite and spoke to her of marriage. On Thursday, 9 July 1673, relatives and friends of the Bergeron and Demers families went to Quebec, to the house of Jean-Paul Maheu. The notary Rageot, summoned for the occasion, drew up the marriage contract... The nuptial blessing was given a few days later, by a traveling missionary. Alas! this act has been lost for ever."

Baptism

1656 - The pendulum clock is invented (Christiaan Huygens, Netherlands)

New France
'It was Eustache Lambert, first a donne to the Jesuits, then a colonist, trader and merchant, married to Marie Laurence about 1656, who hired Andre Bergeron and his elderly father. In the census of 1666, they were in his service in the Upper Town of Quebec, in the company of Jean Adam, Thomas Lefebvre and Andre Robideau. The following year, the census takers mentioned the presence of Andre and Pierre as employees of the same patron, but living on the Coast of Lauzon. Pierre said he was 77 years old and Andre 22; he was actually 25 years old.'
