Evelyn in Montreal: Jean Baptiste Migkelhart (Anglehart) Paspebiac, Quebec
Today I want to share a message that was left in one of the Comment Boxes by Brigitte Anglehart, a descendant of Jean-Baptiste Migkelhart(Anglehart).
Her comment was in response to a post in which I shared the original 1787 Paspebiac marriage record of Anne Chapadeau & Jean Baptiste Migkelhart. I am related to this couple through their daughter Anne Migkelharte who is near the “top” of my maternal grandmother’s M-line (see M-Line: Eveline Melvina Luce). Here is Brigitte Anglehart’s original message followed by a translation.
Brigitte Anglehart’s Message
Allo cousine….. A mes yeux, la signature de Jean-Baptiste Anglehart/Migkelharte n’est pas du gribouillage. À l’époque, les prêtres suivaient des cours plus avancés et le citoyen apprenait du mieux qu’il pouvait. Les prêtres avaient beaucoup plus de pratique pour la caligraphie étant donné leur fonction, ils n’avaient pas à travailler dans les champs pour pouvoir faire vivre leur famille.
Mon père m’a toujours dit que notre ancêtre venait de l’Allemagne. Anne Chapados et Jean-Baptiste Anglehart/Migkelharte auraient eu 7 enfants ou 9 enfants. Anne Chapados serait décédée le 16 Juin 1839 et Jean-Baptiste Anglehart/Migkelharte serait né vers 1756 et il serait décédé le 8 Novembre 1826 Au Plaisir, Belle Journée Brigitte Anglehart.
Brigitte’s Anglehart’s Message – A Loose Translation
Hello cousin ….. In my opinion Jean-Baptiste Anglehart/Migkelharte’s signature is not a scribble. At the time priests had advanced education where as average citizens learned what they could. The priests had a lot of practice with calligraphy because that was their job. They didn’t need to work in the fields to upport their families.
My father always told me that our ancestor came from Germany. Anne Chapados and Jean-Baptiste Anglehart/Migkelharte apparently had 7 or 9 children. Anne Chapados died on June 16th, 1839 and Jean Baptiste Anglehart/Migkelharte was born about 1756 an died on November 8th, 1826 in Au Plaisir.
Have a good day, Brigitte Anglehart
