After more than 37 years on rue St-Paul in Trois-Rivières, the Société de Généalogie du Grand Trois-Rivières, Quebec (Greater Trois-Rivières Genealogy Society) has moved to new facilities better suited for its members, about 15 minutes away in the Saint-Louis-de-France neighbourhood.
The town of Saint-Louis-de-France became part of Trois-Rivières in 2002.
In collaboration with the City of Trois-Rivières’s recreation department, the society will now offer services in the former town hall of Saint-Louis-de-France, next to the library, at 100 rue de la Mairie.
Society president Normand Houle said, “Welcome to our premises where we no longer need to climb stairs and where the temperature is better controlled.” Members entering the old premises had to climb 29 stairs.
The society has more than 400 members.
