Drouin Quebec Church Records at Ancestry.com/Ancestry.ca Not Available

by Judy Schneider

Sep 3, 2009

There seems to be a legal problem regarding the Drouin Quebec Church records and Ancestry's authority to offer those records. As a result Ancestry has pulled those records for the time being. This may or may not be permanent. Ancestry has not given any information out to its subscribers.

In the mean-time here is a link to the LDS Drouin Quebec Church records. Access is free; however, the years covered seem to end at 1899. I haven't checked out ever Church but those that I have end at 1899.

Also, these records are not digitally indexed. Most of the Church records do have their own index either at the beginning of the year or, more commonly, at the end of the year. I guess it is better than having no access. Here is that link...

    Thanks Judy for this link! I imagine that the reason the records only go to 1899 is due to the privacy act? Do you know of a a place where we can acess the Ontario parish registers?

      the litigation has to do with the indexing of the Drouin collection. The Drouin collection is still available Ancestry.ca. I have a world membership and can do look-ups for anyone. Time permitting I could also visit the National Archives here in Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA. I am willing to try and help with translations but am more comfortable with English.
