 Some church records have been deposited for preservation in government archives or in libraries. Watch for links to '''digitized, online records''' offered by the archives. Some archives provide '''research services''' for a fee. For others, if you cannot visit in person, you might hire a researcher.<br>

-=== Indexes to Catholic Marriage Records  ===
-*Information for many French Canadian Catholic marriages in Québec before 1930 is transcribed in: ''Répertoire alphabétique des mariages canadiens-français, 1760–1935''. (Longueuil, Québec, Canada: Service généalogique Claude Drouin, 1989–1991.) Also known as the Répertoire Drouin. Part One (49 volumes) lists marriages alphabetically by the husband's surname.
-:Part Two (65 volumes) lists marriages alphabetically by the bride's surname. It gives information similar to the information in the Loiselle Collection.
-:The [https://familysearch.org/catalog-search&catSearchType=film_number Family History Library] has a microfiche edition of the Répertoire Drouin.&nbsp; Part One begins with fiche 6202704.&nbsp; Part two begins with fiche 6203266. Each part contains two alphabetical listings. Since there is some overlap in the years covered by each listing, both listings should be consulted.
-:Copies are available at the National Library of Canada in Ottawa, at the Salle Gagnon of the Bibliothèque de la Ville de Montréal, and at a few other libraries. Marriage records of many parishes have been compiled and published. These compilations are available at branches of the Archives Nationales du Québec, the [http://familysearch.org/ Family History Library ]in Salt Lake City, and at many major libraries in Canada and northeastern and midwestern states.
-If a church marriage record cannot be found, look in the '''notarial records''' for a marriage contract. About two-thirds of the marriages before the mid-1800s had marriage contracts. See the "Notarial Records".
-Several genealogical dictionaries also have marriage information (see [[Quebec Genealogy]]). One of the most important is Cyprien [[Tanguay's Genealogical Dictionary|Tanguay's]], ''Dictionnaire généalogique des familles canadiennes (Genealogical Dictionary of French Canadian Families)''.
