The civil copies of most parish records were microfilmed by the Institut généalogique Drouin through about 1940. These microfilm have now been scanned and are available at [[Www.ancestry.ca|www.ancestry.ca]]. They are arranged by parish, then by year or groups of years. Most records have an index at the end of each year or group of years. Ancestry has also indexed the records, but the indexes presently do not allow soundex searches or searches for parents' names. It is possible to access the records by parish, then by year or groups of years, without using the indexes.<br> | The civil copies of most parish records were microfilmed by the Institut généalogique Drouin through about 1940.

For earlier records (1621 through 1799), the University of Montreal's [http://www.genealogie.umontreal.ca/en/accesLibreBD.htm#RepertoireDesActes Quebec and French Canadian Genealogy Database] is a paid subscription service that allows users to instantly search all registers. The university (for research into demography) has each person numbered and all appearances of each individual (subject, witness, parent, child, etc.) are linked together. | For earlier records (1621 through 1799), the University of Montreal's [http://www.genealogie.umontreal.ca/en/accesLibreBD.htm#RepertoireDesActes Quebec and French Canadian Genealogy Database] is a paid subscription service that allows users to instantly search all registers. The university (for research into demography) has each person numbered and all appearances of each individual (subject, witness, parent, child, etc.) are linked together. This is a database only. While it is based on parish and other original records, it does not have links to those original records. A number of burials for individuals dying after 1799 have been added to this database. Generally these are individuals born before about 1750. <br> | ||
