 In 1841, the government created registration offices, which today are called the [https://foncier.mern.gouv.qc.ca/Portail/nous-joindre/ '''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.

-Subsequent sales, gifts, bequests, or other transfers of land have been a matters of '''local''' record since about 1831, under the responsibility of the ''Ministère de la Justice'' and registered at the ''Bureau d’enregistrement'' [Legal Registry Office] of the various Judicial Districts. In 1996 there were 55 different land registry offices. Current addresses are given in the ''Canadian Almanac'' or in a current Québec Government Telephone Directory, or Québec Legal Telephone Directory, and probably other legal directories. Ask your librarian. You must know the street address or Range and lot number and it helps to know the Ward or Parish.
-Be prepared for very high search fees. I was once told offices were very busy in May, and to check opening hours before visiting. Remember, these offices are there for lawyers and notaries to search titles for current land sales, not for genealogists.
-Most land transfer documents will have been drawn up by the local Notary, and if over 100 years old, may be in his ''greffe'' in the ANQ. That is a less expensive way to search for such records, so if you can find one land transfer document and get the name of the Notary, you can search the ''greffe'' for other papers and probably track other sales backward or forward.<ref>Douglas, Althea.

-==== Jésuit Estates  ====
 The Jésuit Estates were the properties owned by the Roman Catholic Society of Jesus. These lands were confiscated by the Crown following the conquest of Canada by the British and were located entirely in Québec. These lands were first rented and then sold separate from the Crown Lands in Québec. The records for this are in the Archives nationales du Québec (series-QBC-18-20).
