The death records of Quebec are a cornerstone for genealogists researching family histories in Canada’s most historically rich and culturally distinct province. Official civil registration began in 1926, but church records, primarily Roman Catholic, date back to the early 1600s and are among the most comprehensive genealogical resources in North America.
These records often include vital details such as names of relatives, places of origin, and causes of death. Supplementary sources, like cemetery inscriptions, obituaries, and notarial records, further enrich research. Québec’s history, shaped by its Indigenous peoples, French colonial roots, British rule, and waves of European immigration, makes these records invaluable. They offer insights into ancestry and provide a deeper understanding of the province’s cultural and historical evolution.
