Pete Goodhue received and obtained a transcription of an act written by a
Notary in Poitier , in which PIERRE GODU (father) is signing
over his son YVES into apprenticeship for the next 4 years,
during which he will live with and work for a Lace maker by
the name of FRANCOIS DRAPERON .

The above contract was signed in 1674, meaning that our
ancestor YVES, was only 10 yrs. old !!!!!!!

Now, I don't think he liked the idea of being a "lace
maker" because I next found him in the records of the
'HOTEL DIEU" HOSPITAL in Quebec City in the month of NOV.
1690, where he spent 23 days recovering from a wound
acquired in the "SIEGE OF QUEBEC" an attack on QUEBEC by
the American Admiral PHIPPS. (who was incidentally defeated
in the battle) (*source of information- Micro-films of the
Hospitals records kept by the Nuns*)
YVES was in the French army in
what we called then 'LA COMPAGNIE DE LA MARINE DE LA
L'ANGLOISERIE" an early form of "MARINES" div. of the
French Army......
Pete Goodhue has a copy of the church register from Poitier France on date of birth.
