 *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).

 *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''.
