-When a person stops being a notary, they send their minutes to the protonotaire (prothonotary) of the local judicial district.
+===Records After 1900===
+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 district offices are given in Marthe Faribault-Beauregard, La Généalogie: Retrouver ses ancêtres (see [[Quebec For Further Reading]]). Current addresses of the district offices are listed in annual editions of the Canadian Almanac and Directory. See [[Canada Directories]].
-Notarial records before 1900 have been collected at branches of the Archives nationales du Québec. Many are on film at the Family History Library. Two ways to find the records in the FamilySearch Catalog are:
-Look for the notary's name in the Author/Title Search of the microfiche version of the catalog.
-Look in the Locality Search under QUEBEC, [COUNTY] - NOTARIAL RECORDS. To find the records, you will need to know which counties were in the notary's judicial district (see below under "Finding Aids").
-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.
-There are few church records for the Eastern Townships in that time period. Lalanne's records are critical sources of information about early Protestants in the Eastern Townships. His records are in English. Because they were deposited in the Bedford Judicial District, the notarial records of Léon Lalanne are found under:
-QUEBEC, BROME - NOTARIAL RECORDS
-QUEBEC, MISSISQUOI - NOTARIAL RECORDS
-QUEBEC, SHEFFORD - NOTARIAL RECORDS
-They are also available under Lalanne, Léon in the Author/Title Search of the catalog on microfiche.
-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 district offices are given in Marthe Faribault-Beauregard, La Généalogie: Retrouver ses ancêtres (see [[Quebec For Further Reading]]). Current addresses of the district offices are listed in annual editions of the Canadian Almanac and Directory. See [[Canada Directories]].
