Notes

Sometime between 1890-1905, Michel and Josephine applied for a land grant in St Raphael, QC, fromthe Government of Quebec because they had 12 children. But there seemsto be no record of them actually having received the land. Perhaps this is when they decided to emigrate to the US. Source: Centre d'archivesde Québec, E9,S101,SS4 (1984-11-011\164); Dossier #2285.
Reference this article from the Archives of Quebec: Applications for free grants of land to families with 12 living children under the 1890 law of Premier Honoré Mercier
In 1890, the Honoré Mercier government, observing that it was "advisable, following the example of past centuries, to give marks of consideration for fruitfulness in the sacred bonds of matrimony," passed alaw entitled An Act to confer a privilege upon fathers or mothers of families who have twelve children living (53 Vict., c. 26). The Act granted 100 acres of public landsfree of charge to parents of 12 living children born in lawful wedlock. The measure harkens back the 17th century, when Louis XIV took measures to encourage births in Canada. In that era, inhabitants who managed to have 10 children living, born inlawful wedlock, excluding priests, monks and nuns, could receive an annual pension of 300 pounds. The pension was increased to 400 pounds if the number of children reached 12. To have the benefit of the law of 1890, an eligible father or mother had to present a petition to the Provincial Secretary, accompanied by his or her certificate of marriage, a certificate of birth of each of his or her children, and a certificate sworn before a justice of the peace giving the number and names of the children. After examining the petition and certificates, the Provincial Secretaryreported to the Lieutenant-Governor in Council. If the latter granted the petition, an order was passed to that effect and a copy was sent tothe Commissioner of Crown Lands, who had the duty of granting the petitioner the 100 acres he had selected. On 30 December 1890 (54 Vict., c.19), the legislature changed certain provisions. Now, the religious minister of the place where the petitioner lived had to certify the truthof the facts alleged by the petitioner. A certificate of birth of eachchild was no longer required, and thepetition was now addressed to the Commissionerof Agriculture and Colonization. In 1892, it was specified that the 100 acres of land had to be selected out of the public landsfit for cultivation, for sale and available at the time of selection, in the township, parish or unorganized territory where the petitioner lived or, if no such lands were available, in the township, parish or unorganized territory closest to where the petitioner lived (55-56 Vict.,c. 19). In 1895, an amendment to the "Twelve Children Act" specified that the lands were granted by location ticket, subject to the usual conditions of settlement. Asof June 1904, persons entitled to land could obtain a $50.00 premium instead. Finally, in May 1905, a new law abolished grants of land and premiums to families with 12 or more children (5 Ed. VII, c.16), thereby terminating the government aid program. Between1890 and 1905, of the 5,413 families officially recognized, 4,977 received a lot or a premium under the Act. Despite certain difficulties of administration, the Act was of particular benefit to people who did notown the land they livedon, that is, bearers of location tickets and squatters, who had to be granted the land they already occupied. The records of the petitioners are preserved at the Québec City centre of Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, in the fonds of the ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation du Québec (E9,S101,SS4, containers 1984-11-011/139 to 198) and they represent 13.2 metres of textual documents covering the period from 1890to 1905. This voluminous documentation offers researchers, particularly genealogists, information on families from all regions of Québec. The counties of Beauce, Témiscouata, Rimouski, and Ottawa are best represented. [http://www.banq.qc.ca/portal/dt/genealogie/inst_recherche_ligne/instr_demande_de_terre/famille/famille.jsp]
