    Notes 
    • The spellings of Duchesne ,Duchain, Duchene names were interchangeable in later documents of the same person and with their parents and siblings.. Some were godparents to Jeanne Françoise Duchesne and Bernard Joseph Morenier children. Even the mother of Jeanne François (Claire Bahy/Bay) The only thing that connects all of them together is the names of the parents

      I have researched, investigated and deducted that Jeanne Françoise Duchesne baptistm was under the NOM as Duchain. The father, Nicolas Joseph Duchain has also had differing spellings. "Nicolas Joseph" has been a popular name in the Morenier family being passed down to multiple generations. There is a Claire Duchesne, but also a Marie Claire Duchene (parents Nicolas Joseph Duchene and Claire Bay). There are more indicators that point to Nicolas Joseph Duchene and Claire Bay as being the parents of Jeanne Françoise Duchesne (Claire is also used extensively in the Morenier family. I am confident that this is the correct lineage and information.
