If an automatic search does not yield any results, do not assume that the desired record does not exist in the NBMDS tool<span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">. For example, it is very possible that an individual\u2019s name may be slightly different from one record to the next, or that the Priest committed a mistake when recording the original event. It is strongly recommended to do a manual search if the automatic search produces no results, and to try multiple combinations of first and last names if the initial searches are unsuccessful.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"null\">Tips and best practices<\/h1>\n<p>The NBMDS tool allows searching for many variables, which makes it tempting to fill as many fields as possible when using the tool.\u00a0However, we recommend that you keep your initial search as vague as possible, and clarify it as needed by adding one piece of information at a time.\u00a0When the name or surname searched is rare or unusual, it is rarely necessary to add more information to the search.<\/p>\n<p>The more precise a search is, the more likely it is to omit the record you are looking for, as every single field must match.<br \/>\nFor example, an initial search could start with the surname and first name of the subject. If the number of results is too high, a variable such as the year of the event or the surname of another individual mentioned in the record can be added. Often, the simple fact of adding a third variable is enough to narrow the search down sufficiently.<\/p>\n<p>As with many of Genealogy Quebec\u2019s tools, you may use the \u201c%\u201d character as a joker to search for a partial name. For example, a search for \u201cLar%\u201d will include any name beginning in \u201cLar\u201d, such as Larrivi\u00e8re, Larram\u00e9e, Larue, etc. This allows you to keep your search more generic and is particularly useful for surnames that tend to have many different spellings.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"null\">Finding the original record using the information provided by the NBMDS tool<\/h1>\n<p>You may have noticed that the NBMDS does not provide a link to the original document from which its files have been created. However, as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/en\/abonnement\">Genealogy Quebec subscriber<\/a>, you have access to the entirety of Quebec\u2019s Civil Registration up to the 1940s through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2017\/10\/01\/the-drouin-collection-records\/\">Drouin Collection Records<\/a>.<br \/>\nYou can find most of the original documents associated with the NBMDS records through the date and parish name or city name given in each record.<\/p>\n<p>We will use Adelaide Boucher&#8217;s baptism file as an example.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1028\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1028\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG6EN.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1028\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG6EN-1024x254.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG6EN-1024x254.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG6EN-300x74.png 300w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG6EN-768x190.png 768w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG6EN.png 1154w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1028\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adelaide Boucher&#8217;s baptism file in the NBMDS tool<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The file tells us that Adelaide was baptized on the 14th of October in the St-Eustache parish.

Some parishes are listed under the name of the city they are located in, while others will be listed under the name of the parish itself.

It is important to know that in general, the images are listed in chronological order.<br \/>\nThis means that the first image in the folder will contain the first events recorded in that year, which are usually the ones from January. Similarly, the last few images in the folder will be those from the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Since Ad\u00e9laide&#8217;s baptism was celebrated in October, it\u2019s likely that her baptism will be found among the last few images.
