Hi everyone,

Are you looking for your Canadian decendants french and english?  I live in Hawkesbury, Ontario a five minute walk to the Quebec border and have found two that are worth checking out: 

For those searching for Canadian ancestors there are two great sites: http://www.nosorigines.qc.ca/genealogie.aspx?lng=fr it shows Canadian, Acadian and Quebec families including in some cases a small history of the relative and their jobs. You can even have links to parents and grandparents.  Some are missing marriages and children, but by becoming a member we are allowed to update them. I suggest using the phonetic search option instead of exact name bacause of the spelling changes for the same names. Please note that Native wives were accepted by the church until a proper white wife could be found. I also love this site https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1&regi...

Part of my Mother's family come from the Beauce and Maine.

One surname is Luby or something similar

Particularly interested in finding out about persons with a similar name from the Beauce

Janet MacDougall

Janet MacDougall, the most likey variation would be LOUBET. or LOUBAT.  LOUBET has the dit name of TOULOUSE. I would try the Loiselle and Rivest marriage indexes which you could order form you local FHC.
