How I came to this
I reconstruct Quebec families from the acts the parish and the state left behind.
Who I am
Martin Lepage, PhD. I live in Montréal. My first tree was my own, in the Saguenay, around Jonquière.
The questions I keep
Ancient civilization. Genealogy. History. Quebec identities and politics. Religion as a culture people lived inside. I return often to the years after the Quiet Revolution, and to what Catholicism did to the population that passed through it.
What you receive
A factual lineage from genealogy databases and original records, as a GEDCOM file and a PDF. Living relatives stay off this site. I leave a blank where the file is silent.
What I need to begin
At least three generations of names and birthplaces: you, your parents, and your grandparents. I cannot start research with less.
