 ===University of Montreal===
 For earlier records (1621 through 1799), the University of Montreal's [http://www.genealogie.umontreal.ca/en/accesLibreBD.htm#RepertoireDesActes Quebec and French Canadian Genealogy Database] is a paid subscription service that allows users to instantly search all registers. The university (for research into demography) has each person numbered and all appearances of each individual (subject, witness, parent, child, etc.) are linked together. This is a database only.&nbsp; While it is based on parish and other original records, it&nbsp; does not have links to those original records.&nbsp;&nbsp; A number of&nbsp; burials for individuals dying after 1799 have been added to this database.&nbsp; Generally these are individuals born before about 1750.&nbsp;
-'''RESTRICTED INFORMATION: '''&nbsp;Because of rights-of-privacy laws, the public does not have access to civil copies of parish registers from 1900 to the present. However, you may be able to get an extract from the original parish register. Send the request to the parish that created the record. Parish addresses are listed in: *Annuaire de l'Église Catholique au Canada = Canadian Catholic Church Directory. Montréal, Québec, Canada: Publicité B. M., annual. (Family History Library {{FHL|971 K24a|disp=book 971 K24a}}.) Due to lack of staff and because of new policies, access to information from original church records may also be restricted.
-'''REQUESTING INFORMATION'''
-When requesting information by mail from Roman Catholic parishes in Québec, you are more likely to be successful if your letter is brief and very specific. See the [[France Letter Writing Guide|French Letter-Writing Guide]] for details.
