I just started working at this crazy mill on this crazy island just east of Quebec City. Anyway, I have to learn a whole bunch of history, so I've been reading this book and it had a list of names of people who signed a petition in 1815 for a new watermill to be built on the island. So yeah, here are some Quebec names from 200 years ago. I found the spellings of a lot of the names really interesting. There's tons of repeats, but here's the list:

I've always kind of liked Guillaume, and I also really like Joseph.

Alecxi? I suppose some people were creative with names in the 19th century! ;)
