Corrections	In volumes 46 and 47. New version available in CD-ROM and for a fee on the Web (http://www.genealogy.umontreal.ca)
Review	The more complete tool. If there are some reading errors, data is usually reliable. However, can be hard to understand for new genealogists and hard to use because names in the index are not standardized but as found in the records. Now available on a CD-ROM (see RAB-PRDH) that should include a yearly upgrade. 300 copies were sold.
