I was looking at the reviews for this book and saw that some of them are quite old. I have been using this book since it first came out. I have found it to be a great resource. Initially it helped in understanding the church entries, as well as, the dating and numbering system. Since that time as I have come across and started using the secondary sources listed in the book I have found it sitting on my desk near me for quick guidance. This book has become an invaluable tool in my Canadian Ancestry research. There are a lot of good tools out there for budding and professional genealogist, but this book should be on everyone's shelf when researching in French Canada. Don't be afraid to underline, highlight, and make notes about things you find in the book. It will help trigger things you forgot when you go back and re-read a section. Happy hunting your ancestors.

This is a surprisingly large book filled with great resources for researching ancestors from Québec. Due to the initial date of publication, you will not find the numerous website links available today, but you will get a background of databases along with tips for using them. It is always important to research the nature of your source documentation, and this book is perfect for that. This book also provides numerous extra sources that can "flesh out" your research beyond the databases like PRDH (Programme de researche en demographie historique). I wish I had this book before starting my research, yet it is just as useful if you have already looked into the databases and books. I have referred to it numerous times already!

The reason I originally got the book was to help me transcribe and translate some document images that I had. I don't speak French and the documents were written in older French script. The book provides sample documents with transcriptions and translations to help get the feeling of how to get information from French-Canadian documents. The book also has an appendix with translations for words with more than a straight translation, that is, some words have an expanded meaning for the genealogist and this appendix gives a clearer picture of document content.
I got a bonus from the book in that it provides timelines, history, and sources for other documents available.
This is an excellent reference for the French-Canadian researcher.

A valuable tool for researching your French-Canadian Roots
Reviewed in Canada on April 13, 2013Verified Purchase
If you are new to geneology and researching french Canadian records, this book is a valuable tool. It lists all the resources available and how to access and understand them. It also has a section on French Vocabulary which gives the English meaning of many french words and phrases found in early French Canadian records. I highly recommend it.

Great reference book for Genealogists
Reviewed in Canada on May 18, 2017Verified Purchase
If you have French Canadian Ancestors, this is a good reference book. The internet is great but sometimes a book in hand is easier to sort through.
