Marie-Magdeleine Martin was born 29 June 1666 at Sillery Quebec. She was the second wife of Guyon Chiasson who brought her to Beaubassin. We will likely never know the birthplace of Michel DeVaux (likely "deVaux" in France)because there is no extant marriage certificate. He was known also (thus a "dit" name)as "Dauphine" and since he likely was a soldier, bore that dit name as an indication as from which of the old provinces of France he had come. I have been studying (and published a book a year or so ago) this family for forty years. I know M-M-M's grandparents and from where the camein France. It is unfortunate to see so much mis-information being posted. I have attempted in the past to correct much of it. Perhaps looking back for the past year on my postings on this site would help many of you. Cordially, John
