Similarly, by using information from both parish regislers, as well as certain other data, it i5 possible t0 present a more accurate and comprehensive compilation showing the service of priests a! each of the lhree smaller parishes (Table l). [t is unfonunate that the registers Of Saint- LouiS—du-Nord—Est, Pointe-Prime and Malpec have not survived, for like the register of Saint—Pierre—du—Nord, they, 100, could no doubt shed light on local history during the French regime.
