=== Introduction === | |||
In Québec, notaires (notaries) have registered contracts since 1626. These include deeds, wills, marriage contracts, and other records that are important in family history research. The persons involved in the contracts received the originals. The notaries kept copies. The copies are called "minutes." | In Québec, notaires (notaries) have registered contracts since 1626.
