Genealogy at a Glance: French-Canadian Genealogy Research

Description

French-Canadian genealogical research has never been so easy. In just four pages, Denise R. Larson, author of the best-selling Companions of Champlain: Founding Families of Quebec,1608-1635, lays out the basic elements of French-Canadian research, boiling the subject down to its essence and allowing you to grasp the fundamentals of French-Canadian research at a glance.

In keeping with the “Genealogy at a Glance” theme, the four specially laminated pages of this work are designed to give you as much useful information in the space allotted as you’ll ever need.

Focusing on key record sources and materials for further reference, Larson first provides history and context, then deals with the unique aspects of French-Canadian research such as Acadia and Quebec before moving on to traditional record sources, finishing with a summing up of record repositories and online sources. In less than a handful of pages she provides all the basic instruction you need in order to begin and to proceed successfully with your research.
