Andy All my Canadian ancestors were in Quebec. The information I found was at the St. Ann's Parish in Montreal and St. Hyacinthe, Quebec and the rest were from the Druin collection. The Druin Collection is very difficult to read and having knowledge of French and Latin are a great help. Liz - in Fla. In a message dated 9/17/2010 12:49:17 P.M.

Since the early Jesuits , to my knowledge operated from Ontario, even in Upper Michigan, many of their records may be here. Trying to get records from them, is costly, whether they find them or not. I'm most familiar with their records from the Grey & Bruce County, Ontario area, where as itinerant Priests, they operated from Guelph in the early 1850's until 1857. Then the Basilian Order took over covering the several Missions as well as the Stations. Stations were the larger homes of Catholic residents, to which the Priest would visit about once a month if possible on horseback, or by buggy or cutter in winter, to solemnize Baptisms and Marriages. These stations were used until a Church in the area was built. Their records were then transferred into the registers at their headquarters, St Mary's Church in Owen Sound. The Basilians guarded their registers well. I was allowed to personally research them as they were handled with care, using white gloves. When I started, one Register of Baptisms from 1867 to 1874 was missing. Nineteen years later it was mysteriously discovered on the front counter of the office. Who had it? No one knows. All Registers are kept at the Parish level in that area. I recently was involved with searching those records for Native Canadian Baptisms & Marriages of Indians & Metis,from Cape Croker Indian Reserve, including the marriage of my g-aunt. Two years ago, with the widespread lack of Vocations to the Priesthood, the Basilians gave up Owen Sound and it's Missions to the Diocese of Hamilton. Now no one may check the registers except the church secretary. She is doing a fine job however, at a reasonable price. Records for Waterloo County, Ontario Catholic Parishes covered by the Resurrectionist Order prior to the building of the Parish Church, are at St. Jerome's University Library, University of Waterloo.
