Ed Galvin's
Bailly Register Page


In 1978 the Centre d'Etudes Acadienne at the Universite de Monton in New Brunswick published a French transcription of the Register of Fr. Bailly, a missionary priest who travelled eastern Canada ministering to the French and the native Canadians.  In response to requests from some friends I have done a loose English transcription of those records occuring on Isle Madame, Cape Breton.  I am posting them here as an aid to researchers.
