Research Services

QFHS offers a research service to help members and non-members find ancestors and discover their family history in Quebec.   This research is done using the resources of the QFHS Library
 
 
Owing to a recent surge in Research Requests, please note that there could be a considerable delay before your request can be processed. We ask for your patience in this matter.
 
Requests for Research
 
The fee is $25 CDN per hour for Members   $50 CDN per hour for Non-Members 
 Minimum: 3 hours
 
Two options, choose which one is more convenient for you:
1. Send an email to qfhs.membership@bellnet.ca, detailing your research request; the more details you can supply the better.
Then, please click here to pay  by credit card via PayPal  (you do not need to have a PayPal account).
 
2. Write out your research request, as detailed as possible, and mail it along with a cheque in Canadian or U.S.  currency, to our office address: 
Quebec Family History Society
173C Cartier Ave #103
Pointe-Claire, QC H9S 4R9 Canada
Owing to erratic postal service, it is advisable to then email us at qfhs.membership@bellnet.ca to advise us that the request is in the mail.
 
To search for a vital record in Quebec, such as birth, marriage or death, please specify the religion, e.g., Catholic, Protestant, Jewish.
 
Research requests are usually completed within eight-weeks. Some queries require in-depth research. 
 
 

 
 
Professional research
For extensive research help, you may wish to contract the services of a professional researcher who is willing to conduct research in archival centres outside our library. All arrangements must be made directly with the researcher. QFHS does not guarantee the researcher's qualifications or search results.
