The Drouin Institute of Montreal microfilmed parish
records both Catholic, and non-Catholic including some Indian
Missions. The time span covered is from the founding of parishes
to 1936-1940 when the instute microfilmed the records. Millions of
records were microfilmed. |
The Drouin Institute then produced a number of
books from these microfilmed records. One set is called the Red
Drouin books another is the Blue Drouin books. These books
contain the marriage records including parents and locations. |
Drouin collection is available at the
American-French Genealogical Society. |
The American-French Genealogical Society (AFGS)
also produces a CD of the Red Drouin books which can be purchased
from the society. Red
