He was buried the same day of 26 July 1651.[https://www.genealogiequebec.com/Membership/LAFRANCE/img/acte/48694 Sépulture-Funeral image Denis Archambault] Collection Drouin, IGD (Membership) (Latin text) == Sources == * [https://www.fichierorigine.com/fr/repertoire/archambault-2 Fichier Origine 240070 Denis Archambault 2020 Fédération québécoise des sociétés de généalogie//Québec Federation of Genealogical Societies]* {{PRDH|Famille|138|lang=fr}} PRDH (Programme de Recherche en Démographie Historique) Université de Montréal* http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~elessar5/pafg236.htm#46885
