Quebec has one of the best-preserved genealogical heritages in North America. Because parish registers were kept systematically for several centuries, it is often possible to trace a family line across many generations. To begin, gather the information you already have, such as names, places, or approximate dates of birth, marriage or death, then consult parish registers, census records, obituaries and other historical collections. If you are just getting started, see our Lesson 1 – Introduction to Quebec Genealogy to learn the basics of research and the best methods for finding your ancestors.

Genealogy research generally begins with information already known about your family, then continues by consulting baptism, marriage and burial records, census records and other historical archives. Genealogy Quebec’s search engine lets you explore the Drouin Institute’s collections to find your ancestors, verify family relationships and expand your family tree using reliable sources. To learn how to use the main research tools effectively, see our Quick Start Guide.
