Notre-Dame-de-Quebec, Quebec, Canada

"The first known mention of the presence of Antoine Brassard on Canadian soil was at his marriage at the very beginning of 1637 in the chapel of Notre-Dame de la Recourvrance... this act mentions neither the place of origin nor the names of the couple's parents. The reason is that the original registries had been destroyed in a fire at the chapel and the rectory on 15 June 1640, so it was necessary to reconstruct from memory each of the acts..."
