Drouin Collection Records-part 1
Joseph Drouin began gathering the data that now makes up the Drouin Collection. His son began microfilming all the parish registers in the early 1940s. He began with Quebec Province parishes, then expanded to Acadian parishes and parishes in the United States and Ontario that had large French-Canadian populations.
In the 1980s, Jean-Pierre Pepin began digitizing the microfilm scans so that the images could be viewed online. The Lafrance database is a very complete index of most of these digitized images.
Although the Lafrance database has only indexed marriage records up to 1917, the images in the Drouin Collection records go into the 1940s.

Follow-up
The Prévôté de Québec records were transcribed in twelve volumes by Guy Perron. You can search an index to these volumes to see if your ancestor is mentioned. If so, you can conduct a page by page search in the corresponding volume in the Prévôté de Québec collection. The volume dates in the Prévôté de Québec collection and the transcription volumes do not line up identically. Use the dates given on the front page of the Prévôté de Québec collection to help you navigate through them.
The titles of the Genealogy Quebec record collections are written in French. Bertrand has promised that he will have the titles translated into English. You will simply have to hover your mouse over a title, and the English translation will pop up. Stay tuned for that feature.

You are sooooo right! Walking the dog and listening to the podcast was not the best way to learn about all that PRDH has to offer. However, in my defense, I had looked over the show notes before listening, so at least I was able to relate to what was being said. I do think this podcast is more like a webinar in that we do need to be in front of our computers to follow along.
In addition, I downloaded the other podcasts recommended to re-listen to and realized that this may not be the only podcast that we should be following along while on our computers. I have listened to each and every podcast since its inception and yet when re-listening to #26 as recommended above, I was surprised at all that I had not heard the first time or had forgotten.
I can NEVER die; there’s too much genealogy to learn and to do and French Canadian is only ONE of my four grandparents’ lines.

Thank you to both of you for this valuable overview. I have used Registres des Notaires de Detroit [Detroit Notary Registers] [46:29] extensively. In fact, an article in FCHSM’s Michigan’s Habitant Heritage for January 2018 features the Last Wishes of Pierre Chesne dit Labutte for the son of his “servant” — a boy he has always considered “perfectly free”. The servant was a Panisse slave but is not called such in these last wishes, perhaps herself having been previously freed, although that record appears not to have survived. Labutte demands that, in the event of his death, his family and wife continue to support this child until he comes to maturity. It is a touching document that demonstrates great affection. You should know that the documents in this set are all transcriptions, not originals, and contain wonderful details about the inhabitants of the settlements on Le Détroit.
There are such wonderful stories locked away in these records!
