Notes
Christen
Godparents were Edmond Rabouin and Lézée Germain.http://interactive.ancestry.com/1091/d13p_2510a1342?backurl=http%3a%2f%2fsearch.ancestry.com%2fsearch%2fdb.aspx%3fdbid%3d1091%26path%3d&ssrc=&backlabel=ReturnBrowsing#?imageId=d13p_2510a1355
Census (family)
This census record is a bit of a mess, both in terms of the atrocious spelling and the illegible handwriting. Basically, Henry Ferron, age 20, and his wife, Rose, were living with her mother and sister on Fremont Street. They were enumerated immediately after the family of Henry's father, Claude Ferron. Rose's mother is incorrectly identified as male, and the name is nearly illegible, but since she was still alive in 1920, Zephir could not have been the widowed parent in 1910.http://interactive.ancestry.com/7884/31111_4330080-00222?backurl=http%3a%2f%2fsearch.ancestry.com%2fsearch%2fdb.aspx%3fdbid%3d7884%26path%3d&ssrc=&backlabel=ReturnBrowsing#?imageId=31111_4330080-00240
