' lX.~Ataterials fqr Canadian History— The Amali of Toicm^ Parishes,
. '<■ &c., Extracted from Church Registers, anjd other sources. '
By Sir-Jamkb M. Lk Moimi. ,
(Bead June SM, 1H97.)
In my recent presidential address before the Royal Society of Canada,
I drew attention to the w^h of hisWicul information yet unrevealed
to the general public— 4n our archives office — over which our colleague,
Dr. Brymner, watches with such paternal care — pointing out how valu-
able—nay, I may say— how indisjjensable the knowledge of its contents
is to all those engaged in historical pursuits.
There are, however, other sources of information'quite as valuable —
as indispensable, I may say, to the compiler of the 'annals of each pro-
yinoe of the Dominion— which I omitted then to mention, and which with
your permission' it will be my mission to briefly supply ; I mean the
chitonicles of towns, counties, villages, townships, "parishes, etc, as dis-
closed by reliable church registers, chartei-s, land patents, &c.
Sueh histories, not only throw light on-ethnological inquiry into the
' - origin of the divers races, constituting the component elements of our
population, but also help to illumine the onward path of the genewil his-
torian and of the statist In their arduous quest.
This field of research, especially that based on the contends of church
registers, has been for close on fifty yeai-s most industriously cultivated
in the province of Quebec. ^
It may bo said to have originated in that province with the late his-
torian, Ferland, who, nfter an exhaustive examination of the dry-as-dust
. and crabbed old parish church registers at Quebec, ])ublished the resuhs
in a volume which has gone through more than one edition.
His example was followed by many minor lights in literature— whose
works are to be found in our public libraries for consultation.
The mantle of the learned man fell to a worthy successor— the Abbtf
Tanguay,* one of our colleagues— who has devoted twenty years of his
life, travelling through Canada, consulting every available church regis-
ter previous to publishing his voluminous Gronealogical Dictionary— a
comprehensive record of the early emigration to Canada — in fact the
. . genealogy onPrench Canadian families, from the foundation of Quebec,
_...in l,6Qa,tft4iL°^" *^*y-
The abblhaa accomplished his gigantic task with the patience and
industry of a Benedictine monk of long ago,
, ' In the province of Quebec, church registers, from the regularity with
which the entries are made daily, in the hand writing of the parish prieat,

are invoked-in innumerable transactions of social life — births, marriages^
deaths, &c. ' '
At Quebec the earliest register of R. G. marriages was opened in
1«2T. ' ^
A lacuna, however, occurred in 1640 by the conflagration, on the .
KJth June, 1640, of the parish church, Notre-Dame de Recouvrance. )
The record of births, marriages, and deaths, shared the same fate ; the---*,
entries, however, were restored from memory ; the population being very
scanty, the process was comparatively easy.
Prom 1640 to the present time no break occurs.
Them were 40 births and 22 marriages from 1630 to the 16th June^
1640.
