Despite the upheavals, priests keep recording, in the parish registers, the milestones of the lives of their parishioners. These records, which are instrumental to French-Canadian genealogy, also are a historical treasure trove as they reveal the impact of the war on the population of the St. Lawrence Valley.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/9\/9c\/French_and_indian_war_map.svg\/1280px-French_and_indian_war_map.svg.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/9\/9c\/French_and_indian_war_map.svg\/1280px-French_and_indian_war_map.svg.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/9\/9c\/French_and_indian_war_map.svg\/1280px-French_and_indian_war_map.svg.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"429\" data-cke-saved-src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/9\/9c\/French_and_indian_war_map.svg\/1280px-French_and_indian_war_map.svg.png\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Source:\u00a0Wikicommons,\u00a0https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:French_and_indian_war_map.svg<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As soon as 1755, French military regiments are sent in America to support New France as the British threat intensifies. The presence of these military men does not go unnoticed: throughout the French and Indian War, many burials and marriages related to these events are recorded in parish registers. Some choose to settle permanently in Quebec and constitute the last group of immigrants under the French regime.
