Three newly published family histories were been added to the Genealogy collection at the Grande Bibliothèque in Montreal in December. 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 most of the family histories at the Grande Bibliothèque 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. (Click on English in top right corner of form to see the English-language form.) The people at BAnQ will respond in English or French, depending on the language of inquiry, within a couple of days.
These are the family histories catalogued in December 2017.
