The original civil copies of most parish registers are held in the regional branches of the '''Archives Nationales du Québec'''. Extracts of the records before 1900 can be requested. Application forms are available at any regional branch. Send the completed form to the branch holding the records. See [[Quebec Archives and Libraries]] for more information and addresses of the regional branches. The civil copies of most parish records were microfilmed by the Institut Généalogique Drouin through about 1940.&nbsp;&nbsp; These microfilm have now been scanned and are available at [http://www.ancestry.com/ www.ancestry.ca.]&nbsp;&nbsp; They are arranged by parish, then by year or groups of years.&nbsp;&nbsp; Most records have an index at the end of each year or group of years.&nbsp; Ancestry has also indexed the records, but the indexes presently do not allow Soundex searches or searches for parents' names.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It is possible to access the records by parish, then by year or groups of years, without using the indexes.
