This website describes itself thus: "La population du Québec avant 1800: Démographie - Historie - Généalogie". Included are French and English versions of the website, but the data is in French. The site has a very good reference for the early parishes, a section on the pioneers, a several genealogy databases, and many other resources. The databases are by subscription. The family database is also available on CD as well as the Repertoire des Actes de Baptême du PRDH (R.A.B.).
