Whoever Edouard's forebeears were, they were not stupid people.

From G. E. Valley Jr.'s correspondence with Gail G. Bouchard, secretary of Notre Dame Church, Ogdensburg, October 1986 to May 1987: the 1986 certificate of baptism of Edouard Vallee; a photocopy of the 1875 register entry (No. 64, "Edouard (batard)"), which says he was born of unknown parents, with the names Joseph Vallie and Sophie Bertrand written in above the line, and GEV's translation and comment; his questions about foundlings and sponsors; the church's reply that it found no baptism for Sophie and no marriage of Joseph and Sophie; his letter of thanks; and his letter to St. Mary's Church, Waddington. · Oct 1986 - May 1987 · p. 169
