The prizes

One year subscription to Genealogy Quebec

Genealogy Quebec is a subscription-based research website regrouping all the collections and tools developed by the Drouin Institute over the course of its existence.

 

The website’s 15 tools and collections amount to over 49 million images and documents which will allow you trace to your family history in Quebec as well as parts of the United States, Ontario and Acadia from 1621 to this day. Genealogy Quebec is by far the largest collection of Quebec genealogical and historical documents on the Web.


You will find more information about the website at this address.

1000 PRDH-IGD hits

PRDH-IGD is a directory of ALL vital events (baptisms, marriages and burials) recorded by the Catholic church in Quebec and French Canada from 1621 to 1849, as well as a genealogical dictionary of families. The PRDH-IGD database contains over 2,500,000 records.

 

Every individual mentioned in these records receives their own individual file in which all the information available on the individual is centralized. In addition, every married couple is assigned a family file which fulfills a similar role as the individual file, but in relation to a family unit. It contains the list of all the couple's children with links to their individual files, the list of all baptisms, marriages and burials of these children with links to the records in question, and additional information on the married couple.
