-== Research Strategies  ==
-For additional strategies, see [[Canada Vital Records|Canada Vital Records]], [[How to Locate Your Ancestor in Canada|How to Locate Your Ancestor in Canada]], and [[How to Recognize your Canadian Ancestor|How to Recognize your Canadian Ancestor]]
-=== Step 1. Determine the town, city, or parish where your ancestor lived.  ===
-You may already know the place where your ancestor lived in Quebec. If not, learn more about your ancestor's family, which will lead you to your ancestor. For more information about this research concept, see [[Your Ancestor Had A FAN Club|Your Ancestor Had A FAN Club]].
-For more ideas on how to find where your ancestor lived, see [[How to Locate Your Ancestor in Canada|How to Locate Your Ancestor in Canada]].
-=== Step 2. Determine whether your ancestor was Catholic or Protestant (or perhaps Jewish).  ===
-To determine whether your ancestor was Catholic or Protestant, do one or more of the following:
-Determine whether your ancestor was French or British.
-*If French, your ancestor was probably Catholic.
-*If British, your ancestor was probably Protestant.
-#Ask your living relatives if they know which church your ancestor belonged to.
-#Look in family histories or papers for clues about his or her religion.
-#Check which church most of the descendants belonged to. Most descendants probably belong to the same church.
-To find where birth, marriage, and burial records of non-Catholic groups are located, look in:
 *Broadhurst, R. Neil. ''A Checklist of Registers of Protestant and Jewish Congregations in Québec''. Includes a brief history of non-Catholic groups in Québec.<br>
-=== Step 3. Search church records.  ===
-'''Births'''
-#Search the marriage indexes for the marriage record of your ancestor. Catholic marriage records often tell when a person was born or at least give an age. They also give the parish where his or her parents were living.
-#Start searching for birth information in the parishes learned from the marriages.
-#Look for the Catholic church records for that place and date. Then search for your ancestor's name in those records.
-'''Deaths'''
-#First search the applicable sources suggested in [[How to Locate Your Ancestor in Canada|How to Locate Your Ancestor in Canada]] One of these sources may give you a clue about where your ancestor died.
-#Then search the Catholic Church records of that place for the burial record.
-If your ancestor did not die in Quebec, see [[Canada Vital Records|Canada Vital Records]] and select the province of death.
-If you were unable to find your ancestor's name in a church record, see '''Tips'''.
-=== Step 4. Copy the information from the church records.  ===
-Make a photocopy of the page(s) with the information about your ancestor. It is often helpful later when you get more information to review what you found before.
-Be sure to document the source of information by writing the title, author, call number, and page number on the photocopy.
-=== Step 5. Analyze the information you found.  ===
-Ask yourself these questions:
-*What were the names and ages of the people you found?
-*What were the relationships of the family members?
-*Where and when was the person baptized, married, or buried?
-*What were the names of the witnesses?
-*Were the witnesses relatives?
-*Does this match with what you know about the family?
