Unlike previous months, only one family history published in Quebec was added to the Genealogy collection at the Grande Bibliothèque in Montreal in April.
If you have a Leduc in your family tree, you will be one very happy camper.
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.
