Notes

Viginia Tetrault has no death record, but does not appear with the family in the 1880 census, and so, presumably died. Eliza's death record puts her birth at almost the same time as Virginia's, and so, since it is impossible that Sophia gave birth to both in such a short time, it is presumed that Virginia is Eliza. Perhaps there is some error in the record (highly likely in at least some details), or perhaps a middle name is being dealt with.

Records show Jacques married to Sophi, but the last name of "Sophi" changes a lot. I'm putting together this table to try to make sense of it all.

Date	Place	Surname	Record	Notes
1871 Feb 4	Vermont, Swanton	Papeno	Delphine birth record.	Shortly before records indicate Jacques naturalized in Vermont.
1875 Dec 6	Massachusetts, Southbridge	Laforet	Virginia birth record.
1876 Feb 11	Massachusetts, Southbridge	Lafforet	Eliza death record.	Based on the timing, and the lack of future references to Virginia, it is presumed that Eliza is Virginia.
1877 Mar 26	Massachusetts, Southbridge	Lafores	David birth record.	Father listed as David, but this is presumed to be a typo.
1882 Mar 15	Massachusetts, Southbridge	Cyriac	Henry birth record.
1899 Jan 6	Massachusetts, Southbridge	Laforce	David marriage record.
1906 Apr 30	Massachusetts, Southbridge	Cyriac	Henry marriage record.	Gives birthplace as Swanton, matching the extent birth record in Vermont.
1906 Dec 31	Massachusetts, Southbridge	Syriac	Delphine marriage record.	Gives birthplace as Swanton, matching the extent birth record in Vermont.

1900 United States Census

The details in this census are so close as to make it certain that it is the right family, but they are so far off, that I wonder at where the details came from. Perhaps a neighbor was consulted for the details. Amelia's birthday is completely wrong, and Jacque's immigration year appears to contradict likely records involving him and his previous wife. (But then, what neighbor would know so much about the children, while so little about the mother?)
