Introduction

We're an informal group of amateur genealogists who research in a variety of areas - Filles a Marier, Filles du Roi, Carignan-Salieres Regiment, Acadians, Hessians, UEL, French-Canadians, as well as Scots, English and Irish in Quebec.
We meet monthly on Saturday mornings (see schedule) in the upstairs room at the BCGS Resource Centre In Surrey.
If you live in the Vancouver area or if you're going to be in the area, come and meet other researchers and share your successes and brick walls over a cup of coffee.
There's a drop-in fee of $2.00 which goes towards purchasing Quebec resources (Drouin films, CDs, repertoires, books, etc) which are housed in the BCGS library.
BCGS membership is not required.
If you'd like more information, please e-mail Linda Maitland. A pamphlet is available in PDF

News

•  
• We have finally received our order of "R.A.B. du PRDH, Repertory of BMD, Early Quebec", CD. It was funded jointly with the Quebec Group and The BCGS.. It is installed on Member3 computer at our Resource Centre in Surrey.
  
  What is the R.A.B. du PRDH ? (An excerpt form their Website:-  http://www.genealogie.umontreal.ca/en/pubRAB2.htm#commander) The R.A.B. du PRDH is a repertory of the 690 000 baptismal, marriage, and burial certificates registered in the Catholic parishes of Quebec prior to 1800. Added to these are more than 20,000 certificates of various other types: census records, marriage contracts, confirmations, lists of immigrants, and so on. The repertory reproduces, in a standardized form, the basic information contained in these documents: type, place of registration and date of the certificate; and the family name, first name, and characteristics of the individuals cited. Sophisticated search tools make it possible to find certificates by name of person (individuals or couples) and certificate characteristics (type, date, or parish).
