When researching in Quebec for the period 1621 to 1730, Dictionnaire genealogique des familles du Quebec by Rene Jette is one of those books you need to check out.  The details for the families are sorted by last name and marriage dates.  Listings may include Parents, parishes for vital records,  children (born 1730 or earlier) and spouses of children.

Dit names are listed which helps when researching other sources.  Some of the resources used to compile this book are parish records, census records, and notarial records.

As with all research, it is important to check the sources.  Please use the lists at the front of the book when determining the full name of the parish abbreviations (some are not clear).
