In the 1940s the Institut Généalogique Drouin began microfilming records pertaining to French Canadians throughout French Canada and America. Consequently, this filmed set of records has become known as the Drouin Collection.
The entire Drouin Collection contains vital, notarial, and other miscellaneous records from Quebec, as well as French Catholic parish records from Ontario, Acadia, and the U.S. This database only contains the French Catholic parish records from Acadia. Acadia covers the modern provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Most of the records in this collection include baptisms, marriages, and burials. However, several other types of church records are also included. These records may be confirmations, dispensations, censuses, indexes, statements of readmission to the church, etc.
The majority of the records are written in French, but some are written in English, Latin, or Italian.
Your host invites you to explore this public resource of enormous value in the conductof any and all family history research efforts relating to people who have lived in Canada, even if only for a short time.
Searchable and with a more informative description in this proprietary Ancestry.com version of the Records Collection.
The Institute's website is suggested by way of an introduction to this wealth of information.
