Questions/Errors notes for Jean Baptiste PREVOST dit Collet
In HEB-001 and other sources Jean Baptiste Prevost is sometimes called Joseph Prevost when referring to the marriage of Jean Baptiste Prevost and Augustine Ducrest. Joseph Prevost was a brother of Jean Baptiste Prevost1156,1157. The four times in the original record that this error occurred were in four consecutive baptismal records of the children of Jean Baptiste Prevost and Augustine Ducrest (Joseph, Louisa, Magdeleine, François). All four children were baptized on the same day (9 Aug 1800) and evidently the priest Father Michel Bernard Barriere made the same error consistently in all four records that day. The source of the error may be that the first child baptized was Joseph Prevost and the priest mistakenly called his father by the son’s name rather than the father’s correct name.

Joseph Prevost, the son of Jean Baptiste Prevost and Augustine Ducrest, is incorrectly called Joseph Verret in his marriage record. He married Louise Verret1158,1159.

In DEV-002 the parents of Jean Baptiste Prevost are incorrectly listed as Joseph Prevost and Jeanne Daublin rather the correct parents Joseph Prevost and Madeleine Mayeux. Also, in this source Jean Baptiste Prevost is called Joseph Prevost1129.

In RIF-001 Augustine Ducrest, the wife of Jean Baptiste Prevost, is incorrectly stated to have been married to his brother Joseph Prevost. Joseph Prevost married Henriette Borel581.
