*Notaries ''(notaires)'' have registered '''all types of contracts since 1626'''. | |||
*These deeds, wills, marriage contracts and other records were recorded and the originals given to the parties involved with the notary keeping a copy known as '''“minutes.”''' | |||
*The information included in the minutes gives at least: | |||
:*the name of the notary, | |||
:*the date and place the document was prepared, | |||
:*the names and addresses of the persons involved, and | |||
:*the names and addresses of the witnesses. | |||
:*ages and relationships of the witnesses and the persons involved are sometimes included. | |||
*These records are not normally indexed by the names of the persons involved in the contract; instead they are '''collected by the name of the notary'''. *These notarial records are sent to the ''protonotaire'' of the local judicial district when the notary involved no longer is employed as a notary. | |||
*Notarial records before 1900 have been deposited in the branches of the Archives Nationales du Québec (see contact information at end of this module). | |||
:*An important early notary was Léon Lalanne. He was a notary for the '''entire Eastern Townships area between 1799 and 1815'''. This included the '''Bedford Judicial District and the St. Francis Judicial District'''. The counties in the Bedford district are '''Brome, Missisquoi and Shefford'''. The counties in the St. Francis district are '''Compton, Richmond, Sherbrooke, Stanstead and Wolfe'''. | |||
*Notarial records after 1900 are only available to the person involved or the person’s legal representative who may request copies from the judicial district office that has the records. Addresses of the judicial offices are given in Marthe Faribault-Beauregard’s ''La Généalogie: Retrouver ses ancêtres''. Current addresses of the district offices are listed in annual editions of ''the Canadian Almanac and Directory''. | |||

::Since 1997 the ''Chambres des notaires'' has collaborated with the Archiv-Histo Society to produce the Parchemin Project (''Banque Parchemin''), an index to the files ''(greffes)'' of deceased Quebec notaries. The database is searchable online (in French) or by a set of CD-ROMs held by major research repositories. You can search the database by key word (''mot-clé'') such as your ancestor’s surname, or by the name of a local notary. There is also a map-related feature for determining the name of a notary who worked in your ancestor’s locale. The database includes other types of papers prepared by notaries, besides land-related documents. Presently the period of the documents in the database is 1635 to 1800, but the Society’s own data bank holds millions more, and they will assist you: | |||
