Ancestry adds Quebec, Canada, Death Registers 1926-1997

This new Ancestry transcription database has 7,076,289 20th-century records based on the Quebec government’s Registre de référence à l’état civil.
This image shows the transcript for my nearest relative. There are the usual inaccuracies one expects in a death record in another language. Christophe is Christopher. The birth year is off, and the mother is named Margaret, not Marie.

The same record at Généalogie Québec, free for Ottawa Public Library cardholders, does have the final r on Christopher.

  1. I was delighted to learn this, and was finally able to find the dearth of a relative that I had been searching for for years. Please note that most married and widowed women are indexed under their maiden names.
