<br>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. While it is based on parish and other original records, it does not have links to those original records. A number of burials for individuals dying after 1799 have been added to this database. Generally these are individuals born before about 1750. | <br>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.
