INDEX OF FRENCH-CANADIAN SURNAMES
This four-page index contains over 600 surnames not including multiple families sharing 
the same surname and name variations. More surnames will be added later on. 
NOTE 1: Underlined names indicate they are hypertext links to other web sites with
information on that family name. To connect to that web site simply click on the name once.
Duplications of the same name indicate other web sites related to that surname.
NOTE 2: For free access to this web site you must register by filling out a short form and 
selecting a user name and password (of your choice) at Le Centre généalogie Francophone d'Amérique .
Their registration form is now also in English. Find the box that reads "Devenir membre - C'est gratuit" which means: "Become a member, iIt's free" and click on it. On the next page, click on "English visitors - click here" 
and this will take you to the form you must fill out. There are 5 "fill-in-the-blanks" on this form: 
 1. Your complete name 2. Your e-mail address 3. Your user name (example: mefrog2) 
4. Your password (example: ICU2NON) 5. Your password again. 
Write both down and save them. Then click on the button "Submit ......" and you will be welcomed. 
When you click on a requested item or file, a dialog box will appear once when you log on and 
it will request your "spinnaker" name and password which you will enter in the two boxes and click. 
This web site is well worth this small hassle. Their data base is huge.

After you join (free), to search their data base (over 1 million names) , click as follows: 
1- Centre de documentation
2- La Banque centrale de données genealogiques 
3- Bases de données Gedcom (data Bases) 
4- you are then ready to search using the form below 
(I have added the English translations)

Numbers in parentheses following some names indicates multiple families with the same surname.

NOTE: If you don't find a website (hypertext) associated with the surname you are
searching information on, be sure to check Denis Beauregard's One Name Studies
which has hundreds of e-mail addresses to family surname experts/genealogists.
SHORTCUT to his lists of names: copy and paste this URL to your browser address http://www.cam.org/~beaur/gen/expertsa.html
Notice the letter " a" following "experts ." This will fetch the list of names that begin with "A"
but if you want a name such as Plante, change the "a" to a " p" and hit return or enter on the keyboard, etc. etc.
