caplan
To all, this information was taken from the Je Me Souviens, published
by the American French Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 2113, Pawtucket,
RI 02861-0113:
On the 19th of June 1721, Montreal experienced the worst fire in its
history. At least 126 homes and buildings were partially or totally
destroyed. The fire was started accidentally on a day of
celebration. On the previous Saturday, the 12th of June which was the
feast day of CorpusChristi, the skies opened and it rained heavily
thus cancelling a planned religious procession. Seven days
later, on 19 June, the Soeurs Hospitalieres, in an effort tocompensate
for the lost holiday, decorated the chapel and lit the usually
somber room with the flames of many candles.At the moment when the
procession was leaving the chapel butbefore the Sacrament was brought
into the parish church, oneof the arquebusiers, instead of firing in
the air, fired on the church roof which quickly became engulfed in
flames. (The article continues on but I will get to the list of
