Hi List. If anyone is interested, I've received a message from Ancestry that 3 free days' access to all of their records is available by going to: http://landing.ancestry.ca/intl/canada/3day.aspx I haven't tried it but you apparently don't need to provide a credit card number so thought I'd pass the info along. They've also advised of this (although they don't say when): Coming Soon to Ancestry.ca: Drouin Collection This collection of records, acquired from the Drouin Institute in Canada with cooperation from the University of Montreal, is considered to be the best genealogical resource for French-Canadian research. It contains the names of 37 million people collected on church records in Quebec, Ontario, and other U.S. French regions from the late 1600s to the 1940s. Churches, not the government, were the main record keepers during this period. Hope this helps somebody out down the road.
