French-Canadian genealogy is one of the most rewarding trees in the world to climb — if you know which records to use and in what order. Our free French-Canadian Genealogy Starter Kit gives you a clear, step-by-step path from what you already know to the founding generations of New France.
What the kit covers
- how to gather what your family already holds and work backward generation by generation;
- which database to use when — PRDH-IGD, the Drouin Collection, Généalogie Québec, BMS2000, and BAnQ;
- how to find a marriage record — the keystone of French-Canadian research;
- how to identify your first immigrant ancestor from France;
- tips for reading old French and Latin parish records.
It pairs perfectly with our complete guide to tracing your French-Canadian ancestry and the genealogy records hub. Enter your email to download the kit, and start climbing your tree today.
