Content

The summary of all notary records of Quebec from beginnings to 1765 (all places) and 1775 (Montreal district), plus those from Acadia.

Editions

The CD-ROM is sometimes updated.

Review

The summary of records includes the principal persons found in a record, but not everybody. For example, a will has not the list of all inheritors.

The largest difficulties is that the names are not standardised (but regular expression are allowed).

Expensive. But you can purchase from them a listing of all records your want.

Availability

Partial listing: Montreal (SGCF, ANQ, Univ. de Montreal), Quebec (ANQ), town libraries of Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Jonquiere and Longueuil, other libraries in Alma, Drummondville, L'Assomption, St-Hyacinthe.
