Quebec, Canada Genealogy

Canada  Quebec Guide to Quebec ancestry, family history and genealogy: birth records, marriage records, death records, census records, family history, and military records.

Quebec Information
Quebec is a province in Canada. It is the only French speaking province.

Historic Counties
Records in the catalog of the Family History Library are filed under these historic counties. Quebec's counties were dissolved in the early 1980s, and Quebec was then divided into regional county municipalities. However, the regional county municipality jurisdiction is not used in the vital records system, and therefore has little meaning for genealogy.
