A number of family histories have been added to the Genealogy collection at the Grande Bibliothèque in Montreal since the beginning of the year. All were published in Quebec.
The Grande Bibliothèque is the flagship library facility of the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ). All books published in Quebec, including family histories, must be deposited at the Grande Bibliothèque. They form part of the national collection.
Although almost all of the newly acquired family histories are written in French, if you find one about your ancestors, you will probably figure out a way to use it in your research. To help, I have provided a brief description in English after each title below.
If interested in any of these books, contact the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec by completing the online form. They will respond in English or French, depending on the language of inquiry, within a couple of days.
These are the family histories catalogued in February 2017.
