What everyone could do is write to the site at the 'courriel' or email address and ask where the english site is. There's a computer program that switches everything from french to english automatically, and I don't mean the internet translation sites. Income tax places use the program so could these french only sites if enough people wrote them.

Subject: [Irish-Canadian] Searching for info on Wills


I have gotten e-mails from people wanting help with the search for Wills
on the National Archives of Quebec web site.

I used this link:

Consultation de l'instrument de recherche <javascript:;>

The site is only in French and brings up a search window with the
following questions:


Recherche

Inscrire un terme dans un ou plusieurs champs..
Vous obtiendrez un résultat si tous les termes sont trouvés.

Surname
Nom
spouse's surname
Conjoint
occupation
Profession
Lieu
Notaire
Date

descendant




I have entered in Green the information that you should enter.

In my case, I wanted all information on McGOLDRICKS, so I entered only
the Surname McGOLDRICK. I did not fill out the rest of the form. The
first search got nothing. On the second search, I entered Mc GOLRICK -
no D - and it brought up the info on Charles McGoldrick.

I do not speak French and am only able to read basic French, so I am not
an expert on how to read this web site. I suggest that you enter only
the surname and see if you get any results.
