The results are ordered according to the probability that the document in question relates to the individual you&#8217;re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more the information contained in a document matches your search parameters, the earlier it will appear in the results list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"guiden21\">First name(s) and last name(s)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where you enter the name of the person you&#8217;re looking for. This person can have any role in the document (subject, parent, spouse, godparent, or simply being mentioned anywhere within the document), but documents where the person is the subject are prioritized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accents, capital letters and hyphens may or may not be used in your search without affecting the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also enter several first and last names for the same individual; the engine will prioritize the documents where a maximum of these names are found, but you will also obtain results where the individual is identified under only one of the names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adjusting the search broadness<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the first name and last name, you have the option of adjusting the broadness of your search, i.e. the level of difference between the name you entered, and the name found in the corresponding document.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"505\" height=\"165\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/broadness-EN-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/broadness-EN-1.png 505w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/broadness-EN-1-300x98.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 505px) 100vw, 505px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>There are three levels to this option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Exact search<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Similar search<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extended search<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The different search levels are explained&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/genealogiequebec.com\/pages\/sliderTooltip.aspx\">at this address<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"birthyear\">Year of birth<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In the&nbsp;<em>year of birth<\/em>&nbsp;box, it is important to enter the exact or approximate&nbsp;<strong>year of birth<\/strong>, not the year of marriage or death.

It is therefore possible for a place to be repeated several times in the filters, under different variations. For example, a document where the location is listed as \u201cVille de Qu\u00e9bec\u201d will not be sorted under the same filter as a document where the location is listed as \u201cQu\u00e9bec\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"guiden33\">Filter by date<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This filter allows you to select documents in which a specific year appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During your initial search, you are prompted to enter the year of birth of the person you are looking for. The date filter, on the other hand, is not necessarily based on the year of birth. Instead, it considers all the dates mentioned in the document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you apply the date filter \u201c1945\u201d to your search, all documents containing the year 1945 will be displayed, whether it&#8217;s a year of birth, marriage, death or residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, a document containing more than one date will appear under several different filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"guiden40\">Search results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Search results on the new engine are ordered and presented according to a scoring system.

As a result, events may sometimes be listed in several databases, or even several times in the same database. This is generally an advantage, since it&#8217;s not uncommon for one source to contain information not present in the others. But what if two sources contradict each other?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, check whether a source is accompanied by an original document. If this is the case, you should always give it priority, and make sure you check the information in the original document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the original document is not available, you can prioritize documents based on their source collection. In the case of birth, marriage and death records, the sources to prioritize are the LaFrance first, then the NBMDS, as these are databases containing transcriptions of original documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The records in the ABCD databases, on the other hand, are aggregations of various informations and sources, but are not direct transcriptions of original records. Therefore, in the event of a contradiction, you must give precedence to the LaFrance and NBMDS records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"guiden52\">Finding the original document associated with a birth, marriage or death<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the sources listed in the new search engine contain events taken from parish registers, but do not offer a direct link to the source document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, your subscription to Genealogy Quebec gives you access to the Drouin Collection Records, which contains all of Quebec parish registers from 1621 to the 1940s, as well as numerous parish registers from Ontario, Acadia and the northeastern United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is therefore often possible to find the source document associated with a BMD record by referring to the Drouin Collection Records <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take, for example, this birth found in the NBMDS collection.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/page-details-EN.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/page-details-EN-1024x593.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/page-details-EN-1024x593.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/page-details-EN-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/page-details-EN-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/page-details-EN.jpg 1283w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Baptism record of Marie Laure Jeannette Tremblay from the parish register of St-Alphonse-de-Liguori<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Marie Laure Jeannette Tremblay is said to have been born in Bagotville and baptized in the St-Alphonse-de-Liguori parish in 1923.

In the case of St-Alphonse-de-Liguori parish, it is listed under the Bagotville folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/registres-3-EN.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"321\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/registres-3-EN-1024x321.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/registres-3-EN-1024x321.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/registres-3-EN-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/registres-3-EN-768x241.png 768w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/registres-3-EN-1536x481.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/registres-3-EN.png 1787w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once this folder has been opened, you need to navigate to the year you are looking for, in order to reach the list of images contained in the register for that year. It is important to note that in most cases, images are arranged in chronological order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first image in the folder will therefore contain the first events recorded in that year, i.e. records from the beginning of January, while events from the end of December will be found among the last images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Marie Laure&#8217;s birth took place in August, we can deduce that the record will be found towards the middle of the series of images.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"657\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/registres-4-1-1024x657.jpg\" alt=\"baptism record genealogy quebec\" class=\"wp-image-4983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/registres-4-1-1024x657.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/registres-4-1-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/registres-4-1-768x493.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/registres-4-1.jpg 1175w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Baptism record of Marie Laure Jeannette Tremblay from the registers of St-Alphonse-de-Liguori<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>After browsing through a few images, we find the baptism we&#8217;re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"guiden53\">Using the date filters to find a specific event<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic search, with its \u201cyear of birth\u201d field, allows you to find all documents pertaining to the person you&#8217;re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you are looking for a particular document, specifically a marriage or death, it can be more difficult to find among the many results obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advanced search, which we hope to bring online in the coming months, will alleviate this problem. But for now, you can use the date filters to find specific events whose dates you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the date filters work<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When you select a date or date range, the search engine excludes from the results all documents that do not contain the date(s) you have selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you select the <em>1945 <\/em>filter, only documents specifically containing the year 1945 will remain in your search results, regardless of whether 1945 is a year of birth, marriage, death, residence or publication in the record.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"329\" height=\"321\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Filtres-lieux-EN.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Filtres-lieux-EN.png 329w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Filtres-lieux-EN-300x293.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you know that one of your ancestors married in 1945 and would like to find his or her marriage certificate, start by searching for the ancestor&#8217;s name. You can include a date of birth if you wish, but it is not necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will then obtain a list of all the documents where this individual is mentioned on the site. By activating the <em>1945 <\/em>date filter, you&#8217;ll end up with a list of all documents in which the individual is mentioned AND in which the year 1945 appears, which should enable you to find the marriage easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"guiden60\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"guiden61\">What about the old search tools?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Genealogy Quebec\u2019s current research tools and databases will remain available to our members for the long term. However, they will no longer be updated once the new search engine has been fully released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"guiden62\">Some of my search results don\u2019t match the information I\u2019ve entered<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The first and\/or last names do not correspond<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, the search engine allows for some variation in the spelling of names . What\u2019s more, the LaFrance name dictionary will eventually be integrated into the system, meaning that certain names will be matched despite different pronunciation or spelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An option (Exact Search) allows you to limit the search results to records where the names match exactly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, please note that the exact search does not prevent the display of results in which only one of the first names or surnames searched for is listed. For example, a search for \u201cJean-S\u00e9bastien Roy\u201d will also produce results with \u201cS\u00e9bastien Roy\u201d, even with exact search enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The year does not correspond<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <em>Basic search<\/em>, you are asked to enter the approximate or exact year of birth of the ancestor you are looking for. However, the majority of documents on the site do not contain a date of birth. Therefore, we use the date of birth entered in your search to exclude documents that are not relevant. For example, it would not be useful to show you a marriage which took place in 1734 if you entered 1844 as the date of birth, even if the name matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, you\u2019ll often see results that don\u2019t contain the date you entered; these aren\u2019t there by mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The location does not correspond<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <em>Basic search<\/em>, location is used to prioritize and order results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A correspondence between the location searched and the location mentioned in the document is not necessary for a document to be included in the search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you search for \u201cFran\u00e7ois Desjardins\u201d as the first and last name, and set \u201cMontr\u00e9al\u201d as the location, all documents on the site containing a \u201cFran\u00e7ois Desjardins\u201d and taking place in Montr\u00e9al will appear first in the search results. However, once these results have been exhausted, the search will start displaying documents mentioning \u201cFran\u00e7ois Desjardins\u201d, regardless of location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Try the search engine for free at this address!
