Unless someone has the worldwide (or Canadian) access to Ancestry then they wont be able to view the document. Might be worthwhile explaining what it is and in what language it has been written.

[nfradsham]

Yes, to whom ever would like to help with the translation, you will need a Canadian or worldwide membership to Ancestry to view the document. It is a burial record for Adele Breton dite Kirouac, written in French...

I have got it on my computer but it will not post into photobucket and will not delete from my computer either ;;

[nfradsham]

I'm confused...

[borobabs]

Photobucket is a program we use to put pictures of things onto site , the downloaded document would not load into that program for me sorry

[nfradsham]

yes i know that! your post was worded funny i guess, or i read it wrong...

i take it you were trying to post the document on the board?!

i could try another way, only if i'm assured i won't be breaking copyright laws.

[borobabs]

You will not break copywrite if you alter the image in some way as far as I know;;;so cropping it to show the part you want translating itself should be ok ,,,
do remember to make a copy to keep on your comp beforew you crop though

[nfradsham]

I uploaded the image from imageshack. Hopefully it works!!!

mentions joseph courton? dite damour as well as a leopold damour.

Initial transcription attempt (sometimes things that must, surely, be "e" or "é" look like "i"):

Le quatorze Fevrier, mil neuf cent vingt,
nous, pretre vicaire ?roussigne, avons
inhumé, dans le cimetiere de cette pa-
roisse, le corps d'Adile Breton dite Ki-
rouac, dicédie le onze courant, agie de
soixante-et-un ans, épouse de Joseph
Courbon dit Damour, [s,r]entier de .... pa
roisse. Etaient présents à l'inhumation:
Joseph Damour, Leopold Damour, Elie ?Simons
et d'autres ?parents qui ont signé avec nous.

J B Rousseau
H Prou..
L A Semire
O Clouttes
Jos D'amour
P H Snors
L Parrouac
Leopold Damour
Jos Sarto Sirois
Elie Sirois J A Cousteau ...

This could be a starting point for a translation?

First stab at a translation:

On the 14th February 1920
we, the curate {?roussigne}, have
buried, in the cemetery of this
parish, the body of Adile Breton, called, Ki-
rouac, who died on the 11th of this month, aged
61, wife of Joseph
Courbon, called Damour, {{s,r}entier} of ?this pa-
rish. Present at the burial:
Joseph Damour, Leopold Damour, Elie ?Simons
and the other ?parishioners who have signed with us
{.... faite}

I should have said that there are others whose French is better founded than mine, who may be able to refine this into something more accurate.

It might help if one of us mods were to add French-to-English as part of the thread heading?

I think {?roussigne} is probably soussigné: signed below

rentier: person of private means, or I guess could just mean gentleman?

Wow! Thank you very much everyone! Another confusing part of this area of my family tree is the name Sirois. It appears twice in Adele's (my great great grandmother) burial record: Elie Sirois & Jos Sarto Sirois, and also in my grandmother's baptism record. Listed as her godfather was Ipolite Sirous (which I know is spelled a bit different). I haven't found anything on this family so far. Maybe if I knew more about this family it may open up some clues on my tree.

Also listed, as my grandmother's godmother, is an Isabelle Labelle. On one of my previous threads, The Mysteries of Adele Breton dite Kerouac, I explained the confusion about my great grandmothers name, on my grandmother's baptism record, as "Marie Josephine Lucie Labelle" where it should have been D'amour.

If anyone could do some addition digging for me, it would be greatly appreciated!

[nfradsham]

So I did a little digging with the name Joseph Sarto Sirois and found a birth record for a Joseph Rosaire Sarto Sirois in 1903 with parents, Phillippe Sirois and Marie D'AMOUR. I also found a border crossing record for November 1923 for Joseph S Sirois, with his last permanent residence as Nicolet, the place where Adele was buried. His final destination was for Woonsocket, RI.

I also have a border crossing record for Adele and her husband Joseph D'amour for May 1919, which lists their final destination as Woonsocket as well! What the heck is in Woonsocket, RI for this family?! This is also 10 months before Adele died...

Textile industry - though apparently this closed after the Depression so if they went there for work they wouldn't have been in luck for long.

I believe they were just visiting. Maybe family? I don't have a world membership on Ancestry so I can't go any further...

Have you been able to get anything from Family Search?
