''[[Canada]] [[Image:Gotoarrow.png]] [[Quebec]] [[Image:Gotoarrow.png]] [[Loiselle Marriage Index]]'' | |||
The Loiselle Marriage Index and its supplement are some of the best sources for finding Catholic marriages in Québec. They are easy to use, and most entries are typewritten. The index and supplement contain over a million marriage records. About 70 percent of the Catholic marriages before 1900 are included. A smaller percentage of marriages after 1900 are included. There is very little duplication between the original Loiselle Marriage Index and the supplement. | The Loiselle Marriage Index and its supplement are some of the best sources for finding Catholic marriages in Québec.

Parents are only listed the first time a person was married. If a record has “ve,” “vve,” “vf,” or “veuf” by a person's name, the person was widowed and the previous spouse is listed. To find the names of the parents, look at the record of the previous marriage. | Parents are only listed the first time a person was married.
