Page rename/moved
[edit]François Beaulieu was renamed/moved to François Beaulieu II. This change was decided after recent reports have demonstrated that Jacque Beaulieu was most likely Francois' uncle (not father) and that Francois Beaulieu II had a father of the same name See: Hanks, C (24).

- Would that not make him a "Junior" instead of "II"? Daniel the Monk (talk) 20:33, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
- All historical references, at present, are using "II" instead of "Junior" and people seem to use "II" in everyday speech when referencing. From Hanks (2000), "Today descendants of François Beaulieu commonly differentiate him from his father, who guided Sir Alexander Mackenzie, by the "II" notation" (p.378). Further reference of "II" can be found here: News Releases and Backgrounders: François Beaulieu II (C. 1771-1872) Erocifellerskank (talk) 22:11, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
