>From Pam Tessier Believe it or not, there are other sources and there was a genealogical research life before the Drouin appeared on Ancestry. The PRDH is an excellent research source for Quebec records http://www.genealogy.umontreal.ca/en/ and the BMS2000 http://www.bms2000.org/Default.aspx is another one. Both are great subscription sites and well worth the relatively cheap costs. If you are only interested in free sites then try the LDS Pilot Project under Quebec records or visit your local Family History Centre and do it the old fashioned way - microfilm in a film reader and turn a crank or push a button. Check your local library and see if you can find a copy of Rene Jette's Genealogies of the French Families(?) or Cyprien Tanguay's books. Tanguay was on-line but it is not a source I use anymore so you will have to check. FYI, the Drouin collection of transcribed BMD records is also available in a set of books - albeit a bit of hike for some of us to the Canadian Room of the North York Library. The so-called Blue and Red Drouin marriage books are available at branches of the Societe Franco//-Ontarienne d'Histoire et de Généalogie. Try contacting them on-line for a lookup. It will probably cost you something but then these organizations don't exist on air. The Library of Canada will also send you every known marriage with your surname, from the landing in Quebec City to the present, for a very, very modest fee. The Red or 'Petit' Drouin is available on CD from many on-line book stores. >From originals to transcripts, there are a lot of options. Be sure to check out Lorine's Olive Tree Genealogy, she's probably got a few listed that I missed. And of course, you can visit the Penetanguishene Museum and find almost every one of these sources just waiting for you - Quebec repertoires on CD, microfiche, in print or in a computer database.
