  • Unfortunately, when you check the date of the christening you see that there has been an error. The date is given as 25 of September 1705. This makes no sense, closer inspection of the original document proves that the date is 1725. The birth is 'yesterday i.e. 24th September 1725. The Godmother is Gillette Bouin and Gillette Bouin is the person Jacques Chopin declared was his mother. As a child it is easy to see how the confusion arose.
