 ===Registration Offices===
 In 1841, the government created registration offices, which today are called the Bureau de la publicité des droits. Records of land transactions subsequent to the original grant or purchase are in the custody of the Bureau de la publicité des droits for each county or district.
-The French king's grants to original seigneurs are in:
-*Québec (Province).''Législature. Assemblée legislative.'' ''Land Grants of Seigneuries 1674–1760 Quebec: Appendice du Onzième Volume des Journaux de L'assemblée Legislative de la Province du Canada, Appendice (H.H.H.H.)''. Québec, Canada: Secretary's Office, 1853. (Family History Library {{FHL|167258|title-id|disp=book 971.4 R2s; film 1036410 item 10; fiche 6046787}}.) Text in English.
-A map with the names of the original seigneurs, their successors in 1791, and the boundaries of the original seigneuries is in:
-*Matthews, Geoffrey J. ''Historical Atlas of Canada, Volume 1, From the Beginning to 1800,'' Editor R. Cole Harris. Toronto, Ontario, Canada: University of Toronto Press, 1987. (Family History Library {{FHL|971 E7h|disp=book 971 E7h}}.) The map is plate 51.
-Detailed maps and land descriptions of the seigneuries along the Saint Lawrence River are in:
-*Trudel, Marcel. ''Le Terrier du Saint-Laurent en 1663'' (Lands Occupied in the St. Lawrence Valley in 1663). Ottawa, Ontario, Canada: Les Presses de l'Université d'Ottawa, 1973. (Family History Library {{FHL|34401|title-id|disp=book 971.4 R2t}}.) Text in French.
-Seigneurial records include:
-*'''Land grants''' generally give the name of the colonist, the maiden name of his wife or widow, the name of the seigneury and its boundaries, the names of immediate neighbors, and the obligations the colonist accepted or the price paid.
-*'''Fealty and homage records''' are registers of the pledges a seigneur made to the king when he received land. These records may show how an individual was entitled to receive the land, either by a grant or by inheritance, and may provide names of relatives of the seigneur.
-*Aveux (oaths of allegiance)
-*Dénombrements (censuses)<br><br>
-Some land grant and fealty and homage records are summarized in:
-Roy, Pierre Georges. ''Inventaire des concessions en fief et seigneurie, foi et hommages et dénombrements conservés aux Archives de la province de Québec'' (Inventory of Seigneurial Records at the Archives of the Province of Québec). Six Volumes. Beauceville, Québec, Canada: L'Éclaireur, 1927–1929. (Family History Library {{FHL|971.4 R2q|disp=book 971.4 R2q}}; on 24 {{FHL|34383|title-id|disp=fiches numbered 6046791}}.) Text in French. Includes index.
-'''''Aveux and dénombrements''''' for the Saint Lawrence River Valley are transcribed in:

''L'Occupation des terres dans la vallée du Saint-Laurent: aveux et dénombrements, 1723–1745'' ''(Occupation of the St. Lawrence River Valley: Oaths of Allegiance and Censuses, 1723–1745).'' Sillery, Québec, Canada: Éditions du Septentrion, 1991. (Family History Library {{FHL|507083|title-id|disp=book 971.4 R2m}}.) Text in French.
