I'm pretty new to this whole family history thing but I'm making some good headway in Quebec lately. I've found what I believe to be the names of the parents of someone in my line but I can't read it! I sent this to my friend who is Belgian but he had a hard time. Is there anyone here that is familiar with the Drouin Collection that might know the formatting of these records a bit better? The first one is a baptism record. Any help would be great!

I agree with Elizabeth's translation of the burial record and like her can't make out the final word.
