A sneak peek of a book that speaks to my experience and interests was among the surprises of the last ACQS conference, in Quebec City—a happy surprise for the individuals involved in the project. Since then, Quebec’s Eastern Townships and the World has appeared in print and it has not disappointed. Edited by Cheryl Gosselin, Andrew Holman, and Christopher Kirkey, this collective work places the Eastern Townships in contexts and networks that transcend Quebec’s present boundaries.
The Townships are a historic region of the province easily identified, even on current maps, from the grid-like pattern of land grants. At the time of the U.S. Revolutionary War, French settlers had begun to form communities along the Chaudière River and to work their way up the Yamaska. Their settlements grew under the system of seigneuries issued by the French colonial regime. Between the Chaudière and the Yamaska lay a section of the historic homeland of the Wabanaki that remained closed, largely, to permanent European settlement until the 1780s.

From My Genealogy Life blog: Yesterday a post by Gail Dever alerted me about a webinar hosted by Family Search covering Quebec Notary records.
I arrived to the webinar in time and enjoyed watching the class and learned ow to find Notary records online.I have spent quite a but of time working with the index to Quebec Notary records created by Ancestry.
At Ancestry some of the records have been added but for the most part I have found it is mainly an index. If you keep reading you will find out how to find them online.LINK
