Are you interested in the genealogy of your ancestors?

Recall that genealogy is the practice is to research the origin and descent of individuals and families. (source: Wikipedia)

A fundamental objective of the Association is to facilitate families Michaud genealogical research for all descendants of Pierre Micheau, pioneer ancestor came from France. Pierre is the ancestor of almost all Michaud living in North America.

You can search online in the association's genealogical database. It takes the form of a 14-generation dictionary totaling more than 5,700 pages!

What does our online genealogy database contain?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS about access to the Michaud genealogical database:

1. I ask the bank and my family is not present, or information is incomplete or erroneous. How do I change the data?

The section Add your family explains how you can contribute to updating the Michaud genealogical bank.

2. Is the database updated regularly?

3. Can the online database still be queried by browsing it from name to name?

Yes, but the service is no longer free since April 2023. It costs $40 per year to be a member of the Rimouski Genealogy and History Society (SGHR) and have access to our searchable online bank as if you were in genealogy software. See the procedure for joining and connecting to the SGHR. You would also have access to about twenty other databases giving access to more than 1,600,000 names.

We suggest that you purchase your association's USB key, as it contains free software (Windows only) allowing you to browse from name to name, without having to take out an annual subscription to the SGHR.

4. What are the differences between the PDF files of the USB key that you sell and those available in the members' area? The files present on the key have functions that the PDF files that can be consulted online, on the website, cannot. Unlike the online version of the PDFs, the PDFs on the USB key:

In addition, the USB key contains a video of Pierre's place of origin, Fontenay-le-Comte, and a video of a drone flying over Pierre's land, in Kamouraska.

5. In the dictionary in PDF, how can we easily find the ascendants or the descendants of an individual?

In the dictionary, a number is assigned to each individual with ancestry or descent. This makes it easy to find direct relatives. Moreover, for each individual, all the ancestry up to the ancestor Pierre, is mentioned.

6. I don't have a computer that can use a USB key. Can you send me the dictionary of the 14 PDF files via the Internet?
