I am helping a good friend discover more a bout his paternal family history and have been stuck in 1796. Although I have found the parents names I have not been able to find baptism records for them. Robert Leger and Mary Robinson who had a son Thomas in 1796. I would be most grateful for any possible information on the parentage baptism. Thanks
