Answer:
It’s not. Two brothers, Charles and Pierre Pare, marry on the same day, two sisters, Marie and Marie Josephe Lessart. Between them the 22 children are divided: Charles and Marie have 14, Pierre and Marie Josephe have 8.
Moral: Due diligence and proper research in primary sources a happy genealogist makes.

I’m sure my Dad has some pet peeves. He spent 8 years doing our family, which resulted in 3 gigantic binders of information! I know that there were 1 or 2 misspellings which sent him off on fruitless tangents.
