This source usually lists the names of the bride and groom, their parents’ names, and the date and place of their marriage. The index is arranged roughly in alphabetical order. This index lists more than a million marriages. It covers about 70 percent of Québec Catholic marriages to 1900, with a few as late as the 1960s. It also includes a few parishes outside Québec where there were large settlements of French Canadians |

This supplement to the Loiselle index adds many more marriages and covers the Ottawa River valley area of Ontario and Quebec. This is a supplement to the original Loiselle Index. It extends the original geographical coverage to the Montréal region, the Ottawa River Valley in both Québec and Ontario, and to a few parishes in western Canada. |

| The Loiselle Marriage Index and its supplement are some of the best sources for finding Catholic marriages in Québec. They are easy to use, and most entries are typewritten. The index and supplement contain over a million marriage records. About 70 percent of the Catholic marriages before 1900 are included. A smaller percentage of marriages after 1900 are included. There is very little duplication between the original Loiselle Marriage Index and the supplement. | | The Loiselle Marriage Index and its supplement are some of the best sources for finding Catholic marriages in Québec.

| === Before You start ===
| |
| | |
| If you are not familiar with French Canadian naming customs, read the “[[Quebec Names, Personal|Names, Personal]]” section of this outline. The information there can help if you do not find a marriage record immediately.

| | |
| ==== How To Use The Index ====
| |
| | |
| Finding a Marriage Record
| |
| | |
| :'''Step 1.''' Find the microfilm(s) you need from the ''Names and Film Numbers'' list (look in both the original index ''and'' the supplement). Write down the film number(s). (You may look for either the bride or groom.)
| |
| | |
| :'''Step 2.''' Get a copy of the microfilm(s).
| |
| | |
| :'''Step 3.''' Find the record on the microfilm.
| |
| | |
| :'''Step 4.''' Use the information to find the marriage in the original parish register (see the “[[Quebec Church Records|Church Records]]“ Wiki page).
| |
| | |
| == Finding the Parents of a Widow or Widower: ==
| |
| | |
| Parents are only listed the first time a person was married. If a record has “ve,” “vve,” “vf,” or “veuf” by a person's name, the person was widowed and the previous spouse is listed. To find the names of the parents, look at the record of the previous marriage.

| |
| *Look at all the records for that surname to see if the entry is out of order or if a different given name was used. The name the person was known by may appear as the second given name.
| |
| *See if there is another group of cards for the surname. Look for the name in both groups.
| |
| *Look for [[Guessing a Name Variation|spelling variations]] of the surname.
| |
| *Look for the spouse's record. (Remember, there are separate cards for the bride and groom.)
| |
| *Look for a '''dit''' name (an alternate surname). See the "[[Quebec Names, Personal|Names, Personal]]" section for books that can help you with '''dit''' names.
| |
| *Check another index. Try the [[Rivest Marriage Index|Rivest Marriage Index]] or see "[[Quebec Church Records#Indexes_to_Catholic_Marriage_Records|Indexes to Catholic Marriage Records]]."
