Anyone researching French Canadians would definitely benefit from French-Canadian Sources, A Guide for Genealogists published by Ancestry.

Every country has quirks when doing genealogical research, and French Canadian research is no different.  Yes, knowing the language does help, but that is only part of the equation.  French-Canadian Sources explains naming patterns, historical timelines, and Feudalism and Seigneruial System.

Excellent records are maintained by the French Canadians with many going beyond the basic name, dates, and places. Primary and Secondary Sources are discussed in detail which helped direct me in where to look for what.
