Hello Folks,

Yves Drolet has prepared a nice New Year's present for us, an update to his Tables généalogiques de la noblesse québécoise du XVIIe au XIXe siècle. You can view it at http://members.aol.com/audcent/Quebec_Nobility.pdf. Alternatively, you can retrieve it from http://francogene.com/dossiers/noblesse-quebecoise.pdf

This is a comprehensive set of genealogical tables for French-Canadian families identified as being nobles. The style and format is based on Detlev Schwennicke's Europäische Stammtafeln for European noble families.
It is easy to use and informative. Sources for each table are provided near the end of the work and he includes an index to the families that are subjects of the tables (but not to every surname mentioned in the tables).

I wish I had access to this useful tool when I started researching my French-Canadian noble ancestors.
