Regretfully the site is so complicated that even I have problems with it. It requires an intensive knowledge of Quebec geography as well as the french language. It is a beautiful site and makes wonderful maps for a family history, or understanding the area where the family lived. Regrettfully its not in English and impossible to translate.

Hello, I am wondering if anyone out there is available to do a couple of lookups for me....please contact me for details, I am requiring copies of birth certificates, and info. from the General Index...please e-mail me! Thanks so much!!!!

I was wondering if someone is available to do a lookup for me to find a will for someone who died in: 1892...please e-mail me, Thankyou. T.Coleman tcoleman@sympatico.ca

Hi List, Can anyone tell me if the 1890 census is available for look-ups yet? If they are, are they searchable by surname? Thanks so much for your time. I will be searching for the surname DUFF who came over sometime between 1881 and 1892 from the Manchester, Lancashire, England area and also for the family of Nelker RICHARDSON and his wife, Margaret Harley RICHARDSON. They and their family were living in Cornwall, Stormont, Ontario. The DUFF'S, I believe came into NY through Montreal but I am not positive. Sue in HOT Florida macduff@infi.net

It appears that [In Quebec] church records are all you can expect prior to 1994 Take a look at Marlene Simmons Web Site http://www.virtuel.qc.ca/simmons/attach1.htm Here is a clipping from the site Quote HOW TO COLLECT QUEBEC RECORDS There are a few basic things you should know about how Quebec deals with its vital records. This is just a quick overview, and I've suggested a great book at the end of these notes if you'd like to look deeper into some of the history behind this subject. Prior to January 1, 1994, there was no full civil registration of births, marriages or burials in Quebec such as we see elsewhere in North America. Instead, the churches were all required to keep two copies of their registers, one of which was to be kept at the church, the other depositted annually at the office of the District Protonotary (which was often at the regional courthouse). The copy depositted at the courthouse became the civil register of vital records.

While the Quebec Government has an excellent map site, its a bit complicated to use, especially if you comfortable with French.

Looking to see if anyone knows when Quebec required civic registration for BDM. Looking for information that could be on a death certificate, that might not be on record with the church, in 1915 and 1919 in Megantic Co. Quebec.

Does anyone know a site online that has topographic maps for the Eastern Townships? I know there are some U.S. ones, but wondered about Quebec? Thanks!, Brian

The date when civic registration was instituted/required varies according to the province or territory Civic Registration of BDM in British Columbia started in 1872. There is an Index to the BC records online at http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/textual/governmt/vstats/v_events.htm Prior to 1872 you may [with luck] find some info in Church Registers in the "School of Theology" archives at the University of British Columbia ++++++++++++++++++++++++= On Fri, 21 Jul 2000 09:35:38 -0700, Neil Lepper wrote: >Can anyone tell me if they filled out official forms to be sent to the >government starting in 1900 when deaths occurred.

Can anyone tell me if they filled out official forms to be sent to the government starting in 1900 when deaths occurred. Linda

Heth Baldwin and his son Monmouth P. Baldwin are my ancestors who lived in Farnham. Heth Baldwin was granted land in Farnham on Sept 9, 1805. He died in St. Armands on May 29, 1834. His wife was Hannah. Monmouth P. was born in Dutchess Co. NY, USA in 1802. In St. Armands Monmouth became a Mason in 1828. On June 7, 1832 Monmouth married Eliza Galusha, daughter of the Rev. William Galusha, in St. Armands. In 1833 a son George W. was born, and in 1835 a daughter Sarah S. was born. The family moved to PA, USA and were on the 1840 PA, USA census. I would appreciate any information on other members of the Heth Baldwin family who may have remained in Canada. I have traced my Baldwin ancestors to Nathaniel Baldwin who came to CT, USA from England in 1638/9, but have this Canadian gap in my family history. Elaine Voelker

I will visiting Inverness in August for the first time. I plan on researching my ancestors Neil Macmillan and Catherine Kerr while I am there. I have some info, and I have the book Annals of Megantic. Does anyone have any info or tips they could suggest with my visit. I will be trying to locate the original farm area, and the cemetery where they are buried: Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Inverness. Thanks, Heather

The village is about 300 metres north of the intersection of Routes 202 and 225. Going south from this intersection, a little over a kilometre, the road takes a bend to the east, and then due south again at a point called Fadden Corner. At this point the road runs along close to a creek called Ruiss de Troisieme [3rd] Concession, so this should be the right one. The cemetery is on the west side of the road about a km south of the bend. Ther are also 1st and 2nd Concession creeks, which indicates that the 1st is the road along the east bank of the Richelieu River, and the 2nd, the road running south starting about 700 metres west of Fadden Corner. These two roads end at the US border, but Route 225 shows a customs house and the road continues on. I have no idea of the condition of the cemetery or if there is any plan or index available. Hopefully some else can provide that information. Bill Brady, Ottawa, ON

Good Afternoon, Just reminding everyone including any newbies that may be on the list that the Canada Genealogy Chat is on for this evening from 8-9 PM Eastern Time. The address is: http://huntsville.about.com/mpchat.htm Hope to see you all there. You do not have to be "from" Canada to join in. If you had an ancestor that lived in Canada for any time please come and join in. The more we have come, the better the chance for family connections. Have a great day and see you all this evening. Sue in sunny Florida macduff@infi.net

Hello Listers, I wonder if anyone on the list has access to the 1871 census records for Compton Co.? If so would you be kind enough to do a 'look-up' for me? Any help much appreciated.

Hi I would expect the name to be Pierre Trudeau in Lower Canada. Its a large family group that may have migrated from anywhere along the east side of Lake Champlain and downstream the Richelieu River to St Charles. Its a suggestion. Also would need where this couple is located in the US that has a lot of importance in finding the origins in Quebec.
