All Catholic marriages celebrated in Quebec from 1862 through 1871 are now online at PRDH-IGD.com, adding more than 75,000 records to the database.
Of the 150,000 spouses mentioned in these marriages, over 85% have been integrated into the PRDH family reconstructions. They now each have their own family file, in addition to appearing in their parents’ file.

What is PRDH-IGD?
PRDH-IGD is a database of all Catholic baptisms, marriages and burials recorded in Quebec between 1621 and 1861 – and now up to 1871 for marriages – as well as a genealogical dictionary of families commonly known as “Family reconstructions”.
Every individual mentioned in these records receives their own “individual file” which centralizes the information available on the individual, along with links to the records in which they are mentioned.
In addition, every married couple receives their own “family file”, which fulfills a similar role as the individual file, but for a family unit.
It contains a list of the couple’s children with links to their respective individual files and vital events, as well as additional information about the married couple.
As a result, PRDH-IGD can be described as a detailed family tree of the entire French-Canadian population from the colony’s beginnings to the 1860s.
