Description:
Each CD-ROM includes a series of easy-to-search indexes. Each record will include: names of the married couple, their parents' names (if known) along with the date and place of marriage. A record may also include known children with pertinent genealogical information on each. Most names are hyper linked and when clicked upon will automatically bring you the the previous or next generation. The bulk of the marriage dates are from the 1700’s to the early 1900’s but extend from the 1500’s to the late 1900’s.If you are working on a complete genealogy of paternal and maternal ancestry, this is the tool for you.

Technical:
Each CD-ROM is written for any internet browser.We suggest using Internet Explorer or Netscape browsers. Most computers have these programs already but if yours does not have one you can download it from the Netscape or Microsoft site. These CDs are MAC compatible with the High-Sierra Option installed. Navigation is accomplished by accessing an index, searching for a name, and clicking on that name to access the information.

Contents : Because of the verynature of French-Canadian Ancestry, most of the modern families link back to some of the 35 original families that settled in Québec in the 1630's. With hundreds of GEDCOMsaccumulated from various sources, there will be some duplicates of the early ancestors, perhaps up to 25%. There is no way to determine the exact amount of duplication so we are giving our best educated guess. 

Given the various sources of the data and the sheer number of entries we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data.In genealogy it is always best to try and verify the data.

·There is no clear set of standard place name abbreviations on these CDs. However, we feel that this will not present a problem except to those who are completely new to French-Canadian genealogy.

·To address this concern we will create an on-line database of these difficult abbreviations. If you find a place name abbreviation that you cannot understand just email us at info@quintinpublications.com . We will give you the benefit of our 30 years of experience in the field to help you determine what that abbreviation is.
