These documents are divided into several tools. In order to get the most out of the website, it is important to know which tool to refer to depending on the nature of your research.<\/p>\n<h1>Your first search on Genealogy Quebec<\/h1>\n<p>Whether you are looking for an individual in particular or want to trace an entire line, your first search on the site is likely to be on the <em>LAFRANCE<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/membership\/LAFRANCE\/search\/act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>LAFRANCE<\/em><\/a> contains millions of births, marriages and deaths from Quebec, Ontario, Acadia and the United States from 1621 to the present day. It is with these records, and <strong>specifically marriages<\/strong>, that you will be able to trace your ancestry.<\/p>\n<h1>Tracing a lineage on Genealogy Quebec<\/h1>\n<p>To trace a lineage, you will have to begin by finding a marriage belonging to that line on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/membership\/LAFRANCE\/search\/act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>LAFRANCE<\/em><\/a>. If you are looking for your own lineage, your parents, grandparents or great-grandparents&#8217; marriage is a good place to start.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Recherche-1-EN.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2802\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Recherche-1-EN-300x293.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Recherche-1-EN-300x293.png 300w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Recherche-1-EN.png 725w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The parents of the spouses will generally be listed in a marriage record. By searching for the parents&#8217; names in the <em>LAFRANCE<\/em>, you should be able to find their marriage and, as such, go back one generation in the line. Thus, you can trace an entire lineage through the chain of marriages of the individuals forming it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Mariages-combined-EN.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2104\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Mariages-combined-EN.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1475\" height=\"681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Mariages-combined-EN.png 1475w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Mariages-combined-EN-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Mariages-combined-EN-768x355.png 768w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Mariages-combined-EN-1024x473.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>The names of the groom&#8217;s parents are listed in the marriage on the left.

Try limiting your search queries to the last names of the spouses, or try different variations of the search such as the <em>first name of the husband and the last name of the wife<\/em>, or the <em>last name of the husband and the first name of the wife<\/em>. By doing so, you limit the risk of the record being excluded from the results of your search, which can occur when one of the search queries does not match the information contained in the document.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>Advanced search and other types of documents<\/h1>\n<p>In addition to its collections of births, marriages and deaths, Genealogy Quebec offers a multitude of tools containing documents of all sorts.<\/p>\n<p>For example, all obituaries, tombstones and memorial cards on the site can be found in the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/membership\/en\/avis-deces-journaux\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Obituary section<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Genealogy Quebec also allows you to search for births, marriages and deaths that may not be listed in <em>LAFRANCE<\/em>\u00a0by using the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/en\/tools\/connolly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connolly File<\/a><\/em>, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/en\/tools\/little-bmd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBMDS<\/a><\/em>, and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/membership\/en\/fonds-drouin\/KARDEX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BMD Cards<\/a> <\/em>collections.<\/p>\n<p>You can find a detailed list of the tools and their contents on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/en\/outils\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tools page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Tip<\/strong>: We recommend that you keep your searches vague, and refine them if necessary by adding one piece of information at a time. When the first or last name you are looking for is unusual, it is seldom necessary to add more information to a search.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">The more detailed a search, the more likely it is to omit the result you are looking for, as all the search queries must match the document. For example, your first search could start with the last names of the spouses. If the number of results is too high, you may add an additional variable such as a first name or a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>Additional documentation and tutorials<\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/01\/23\/genealogy-quebec-user-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Genealogy Quebec user guide<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2017\/12\/19\/establishing-your-ancestry-and-finding-your-ancestors-using-genealogy-quebec\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Establishing your ancestry using Genealogy Quebec<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tool specific guides<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2017\/10\/01\/the-lafrance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using the LAFRANCE<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2017\/10\/02\/the-obituary-section\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using the Obituary section<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2017\/11\/30\/drouin-institutes-great-collections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using the Drouin Institute\u2019s Great Collections<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2017\/10\/02\/the-petit-nbmds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using the Petit NBMDS tool<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2017\/10\/02\/the-connolly-file\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using the Connolly File<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2017\/11\/30\/drouin-institutes-family-genealogies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using the Drouin Family Genealogies<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/01\/10\/censuses-1881-1901-quebec-and-ontario\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using the Census tool<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2017\/10\/06\/notarized-documents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using the Notarized documents tool<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2017\/10\/06\/postcards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using the Post cards tool<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2017\/10\/09\/acadia-families\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using the Acadia \u2013 Families tool<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2017\/10\/01\/the-drouin-collection-records\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using the Drouin Collection Records<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2017\/11\/30\/drouin-institutes-miscellaneous-collections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using the Drouin Institute\u2019s Miscellaneous Collections<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/07\/30\/bmd-cards-baptisms-marriages-burials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using the BMD cards<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/en\/2018\/01\/24\/city-directories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using the City Directories<\/a><\/p>\n<h1>Research help<\/h1>\n<p>For questions regarding the use of the site, you can contact us at <a href=\"mailto:contact@institutdrouin.com\">contact@institutdrouin.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For research questions, you can also call on our community in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/554459684303782\">Facebook Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Best of luck in your research and enjoy the website!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#x26a0;&#xfe0f;\u00a0Note: This guide pertains to Genealogy Quebec\u2019s legacy tools, which are no longer updated.
