Most of churches and years I reviewed have splendid indexes at the end of the register. The most notable and consistent exception is the Dunham Anglican church which I checked into the 1840's. These ones generally have 2 - one sort of in the middle and another at the end. I also noticed some of the registers for other churches had just the baptisms indexed mainly in the 1850's Cheers, Anna ----- Original Message ----- From: "MK" <pilgrimkin@yahoo.com> To: <qc-etanglo@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 8:57 AM Subject: [QC-ETANGLO] Quebec_Drouin Records_Ancestry.com > Has anyone noticed that on these images, at least on some I've looked at, > there is an index (or partial, like for baptisms, listed on the very last > page). > > For example.

I have also noticed the index at the end of each year's entries in most of the church registers that I have searched. I, like you, am now in the habit of first checking the last page(s). It is such a time saver. For the ones that I have searched, often the index was more than one page at the end. I have been lucky to find baptisms & burials and sometimes even marriages included. But I have also found some years without an index ....an example, 1926-1929 in a United Church, with indexing started in 1930. Makes one wonder if the inclusion of an index was a directive by the individual church denominations or the government, at least for baptisms. They all seem to follow the same pattern. ----- Original Message ---- From: MK <pilgrimkin@yahoo.com> To: qc-etanglo@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 6:57:18 AM Subject: [QC-ETANGLO] Quebec_Drouin Records_Ancestry.com Has anyone noticed that on these images, at least on some I've looked at, there is an index (or partial, like for baptisms, listed on the very last page).

Thanks for the reply. The marriage in Troy is certainly suggestive that she came from that region. Shushan or Sharon is a possibility but the enumerator seems to use a well formed "h" and I have to work very hard to make an "h" come out of that name. I have read through an extensive list of old town names in NY State that begin with "S" and nothing obvious shows up. Thanks for the ideas anyway.

I think Sarah must have been born in some small village with a name something like Sharon or Shushan. The census worker did not seem familiar with the name, as he had no trouble making a name like Marlborough legible. Note the c as the last letter in Quebec. That is not the ending to this word. I happened to have been checking on a John Simpson a couple of pp. on. (p.15) If it were not for the record on line that he was baptised in Cambridge NY, I would take this census worker's handwriting as something like Bambrid. Anyway, as this is sort of my neck of the woods, I took a look. All that I could find was that a Sarah Lewis married an Amasa Thomas on August 1, 1835 in Troy, NY. This may have been on line, but the person who shared her files, has now withdrawn them. I do not know if marriages occurring in 1835 were registered with the city & county as yet.. Sarah's father was probably in the 1835 NYS census, but that too has been lost. The 1st available is 1855.

What we need is a list of notaries that served the Townships. Otherwise this is going to take a long time! Leslie
Hi Kathleen, I have been into the Drouin records for Montreal churches. My impression .....he seems to have included every church in Quebec.....wonderful!!! I have been searching mainly English Protestant churches. Found all the records I was looking for including a baptism in a Greek Orthodox. Also found Anglican records from Waterloo QC. I was very surprised as I thought it just covered French Catholics. A tip ....I couldn't find one church because it was Anglican, but recorded as Catholic. I have had better luck in just putting the important word in the "name", and then others in the "keywords" section. For instance, Rosemount First United Church in Montreal came up under "Montreal, Rosemont (United Church First)". Chances of anyone looking for it under that would be nil. Less is more, in this case. Another tip ....go to the Rootsweb site that describes Montreal Churches. Put that into Google and you will find it. Because so many English have left Quebec, many Protestant churches have been amalgamated over the years. That site is wonderful in tryng to figure out what church you should look for. For instance, when the United Church was formed in 1926, many churches changed their names or morphed. Hope this helps ......Gloria P.S. I used Drouin on an Ancestry.ca package.

The new availability of Quebec church records on Ancestry is a huge benefit to all. They are not yet indexed (but will be), but at this point can be browsed through. I just put in the place name of Noyan and find the Angican records there immediately. You have to have some time on your hands to check each one, but what better way to spend a Sunday? ;-) http://content.ancestry.ca/Browse/list.aspx?dbid=1091&path= --Pam (I still have a few hours to kill before the Gators play in the NCAA Championship today) Research Recommendations Drouin Collection Online by Michael J. Leclerc Founded in 1899 by Québec lawyer Joseph Drouin, LInstitut Généalogique Drouin (The Drouin Institute) has been one of the major resources for French-Canadian research for over a century. Among his many activities, Drouin microfilmed records from areas in North America that were settled by the French, including Québec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Illinois and Michigan. He also microfilmed records from areas where French-Canadians later settled in the U.S., such as Massachusetts and upstate New York. All parish registers in the province of Québec, regardless of denomination, were microfilmed by Drouin. These records are the lynchpin for all French-Canadian research. LInstitut Drouin folded in the 1990s and the assets were sold to The American-French Genealogical Society in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, and Jean-Pierre Pepin of Longeuil, Québec. Pepin spent several years digitizing the Drouin Collection with high-quality scans of the microfilm. The Generations Network has recently made these records available on their Ancestry.com and Ancestry.ca websites. Ancestry.com has separated the images into six databases: Quebec Vital Records (Drouin Collection) 1621-1967; Ontario French Catholic Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1747-1967 Early U.S. French Catholic Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1695-1954; Acadia French Catholic Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1670-1946; Quebec Notarial Records (Drouin Collection), 1647-1942; Miscellaneous French Records (Drouin Collection), 1651-1941. The records are not yet indexed, but are fully browseable. The various church records databases are organized by location, then by year. The notarial records database is organized by the name of the notary. The miscellaneous records are organized by the name of the record set. The Generations Network has teamed with the Programme de Recherche en Démographie Historique (PRDH) at lUniversité de Montréal to index the records. The PRDH will ensure that the French names will not be mistranslated in the index. Work is also in progress for a French-language interface for the databases, to make it easier for Francophones to use. Browsing the database was very easy. In addition to browsing directly to a location, you can search for location names, church name, year, religion, or keyword. Because many of the names are in French, it may be easier for Anglophones unfamiliar with French spellings to browse down to the town. For example, one common problem for Anglophone beginners is that there are two words for saint in French, one for masculine and one for feminine. If the church was named for a male, the word is Saint; for females, the spelling is Sainte. Complicating the search process is the fact that they have used the short form of the words St and Ste in the titles of the databases (note that there is no period). Ancestry has also included hyphens between words in the names of the locations, as they apper in the original French. Despite my best efforts I was unable to find some locations using the search box. I browsed to the location and made sure I typed the name character for character as it appeared in their list, but the location still did not appear in search results. For the moment, it may be faster for you to browse to the location rather than search for it. All in all, this is an extremely valuable set of data for those of French-Canadian descent to have access to. Once it is fully indexed and searchable by name it will become the premier online resource for researching those ancestors. You can search it directly from the Ancestry.com or Ancestry.ca homepages by clicking the Quebec Vital Records link.
