To find which department your ancestor came from: If your ancestor came to New France before 1731, please consult the Jette dictionary. Jette gives the department designation for each original ancestor in parenthesis. If your ancestor came after 1760, please consult Tanguay or Drouin . They will give the ancient province (see below). If you do not know the correct department, send us the info as given in Tanguay or Drouin and will shall endeavor to find it for you.

The following is a separation of the ancient provinces of France into modern (1852 ) French departments. An asterisk (*) indicates that the modern French department is found in more than one ancient province.
