When the events have been registered under both a proper name and a nickname, the dictionary generally refers you back to the proper name. For example, in a marriage record Jacob Lessard married Marie Louise Wolfe (Polish by nationality). In the records of their childrens' baptisms, she is named Marie-Louise ''Loupe'' or Marie-Louise ''Polonaise'' (meaning Polish). The dictionary refers the names ''Loupe'' and ''Polonaise'' back to the name ''Wolfe''. Name variations which were known in the colony before the year 1700 are indicated in Volume 1, pages xxxi and xxxii. | When the events have been registered under both a proper name and a nickname, the dictionary generally refers you back to the proper name.

Sometimes children were baptized several months after their birth. The reason for these delays was the prolonged absence of the missionaries who infrequently visited the different centers of population. The families would wait for the visit of the missionary to have baptism administered to their children. Therefore, do not be surprised if several baptisms in the same family are only a few months apart. | Sometimes children were baptized several months after their birth.
