Historic counties are listed below as government records were created in this jurisdiction. Counties in Quebec were reorganized in 1979 into "regional County Municipalities (MRC). However, the regional county municipality jurisdiction is not used in the vital records system, and therefore has little meaning for genealogy.

Historic Counties[edit | edit source]

Records in the catalog of the FamilySearch Library are filed under these historic counties. Quebec's counties were dissolved in the early 1980s, and Quebec was then divided into regional county municipalities. However, the regional county municipality jurisdiction is not used in the vital records system, and therefore has little meaning for genealogy. Each county page, under "History" lists the modern RCMs associated with that county.
