Two sites are a must for a visit La Société de Généalogie des cantons de l'Est in Sherbrooke ia worth an extended visit. It has the same archives as Montreal, plus those specific to the Townships. It holds microfilms on behalf of the Quebec National Archives for the District of St Francis. Most of the answere can probably be found in the SGCE publications. Web is at http://www.genealogie.org/club/sgce/sgce.htm For the Townships, some of the unique records, plus newspapers and collections are at Bishop's University Old McGreer web details at http://www.ubishops.ca/library_info/lib-old.htm These two sites are concerned with larger regions, while history societies are oriented to a specific community. Example, the History Society of Sherbrooke in the same building as the SGCE, is primarily concerned with the city area, not the District of St Francis.
