But things change and Tevye, the dairyman, the father of five daughters, has to deal with his three oldest daughters who want to marry for love, and not through a match-maker. At one point, he is torn between his love for his daughters and everything he believes in: his Jewish faith and his cultural heritage. Finally, the villagers are evicted by an edict of the Tsar.

It reviews the major trends affecting retailers and shopping centres in the nation in the past year.

They may be Francophone descendants of mercenaries in the 18th century or Anglophone immigrants of the 1950s. In the 1980s, after a long period of official downplaying of the presence of the Germans, some German-Canadian leaders fought for recognition of the German contribution to a multicultural Canada. Many German-Quebecers took over this discourse, but some refused the idea of a German ‘founding people’ and insisted on the distinct role of their Francophone society. Furthermore, even in Canada, post-war immigrants had to come to terms with the German past; the victimisation often characterized the German- Canadian press, since readers many, of whom lived in Québec often were expellees of the German ‘eastern territories’ and the few exiles often chose to stay invisible. Thus for its citizens of German heritage, Québec became the place of encounter of several competing identity discourses, whether it was about the role of Francophones in Canadian history or about the role of Germans.

  • The English (Atheiral of Quebe}
    THE ENGLISH (ATHEIRAL OF QUEBE}. READ BEFORE THE £iterary and jistorical $atitty, Quebec, 10th March, 1891, BY F RED. C. WUR TELE, ESQ. In writing the history of the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity of Quebec, it will not be out of place to give a short sketch of those good Monks and Friars of the order of St. Francis who were the former proprietors of the land on which the sacred edifice has been built. The mendicant order of Monks, called Franciscans, was founded in Spain, in the year 1208, by St. Francis d'Assisi.* Subsequently they spread into Italy and were introduced into France by St. Louis of Gonzaga. They were also called “Récollets,” from the latin word “Recollectus,” sig nifying “meditation” and also “gathering.” Their chief works were teaching, nursing the sick, and ministering to the poor, whose wants they supplied out of the donations and alms which they received. In fact their livelihood was obtained entirely by begging, performed by the “Frères Mineurs,” and so highly were they esteemed and beloved in old Canada, that the “habitants” would always transport free of charge the results of their begging expeditions from village to village and finally to the con vent in Quebec. The boatmen invariably were pleased to ferry them free across the St. Lawrence, * DeSalignac, 64 Samuel de Champlain relates, that “he was convinced of “the necessity of religious instruction to influence such of “the Indian population of Canada as might be induced to “turn to agricultural pursuits.” In this connexion he was directed by Sieur Louis Houel, at Brouage to apply to the General of the Order of Recollets.

Research has identified 126 individuals who died in Internment Camps across Canada. It is believed that this number differs from the original 107 individuals who were recorded as dying in General Otter’s report as the number of 126 includes six children as well as all internees that died in Amherst. At this time it has not been determined for those who died in Amherst if they were internees from Canada or German prisoners of war.

  • Finding Your Family in Notarial Records
    Finding Your Family in Notarial Records Notarial records are some of the most valuable documents you’ll come across in genealogy. Written and notarized by a notary who was officially commissioned by the authorities, these records can include details about events in lives of your ancestors, and the distribution or sale of their property. By consulting notarial records, you can measure the wealth of your ancestors—during their lifetime and when they died. You can also learn about the challenges they faced in their personal life, as many settlements were written by notaries to avoid going to court. Getting Started with Quebec Research You should first begin your research for ancestors who lived in Quebec by consulting church records and census records. Ancestry is home to the largest online collection of church records (Catholic and Protestant) called Quebec, Canada, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1968. You will also find indexes to church records and cemeteries such as Web: Montreal, Canada, Non-Catholic Marriage Index, 1766-1899 and Web: Quebec City, Quebec, Mount Hermon Cemetery Index, 1846-1904 on Ancestry. Continue your research by consulting the Canadian Census Collection, which includes census records for Quebec from 1825 to 1921. Records like these can give your research a solid foundation, but in order to flesh out the lives of your ancestors, we encourage you to explore the unique and rich records that are the notarial records. The Notarial Records Collection on Ancestry Ancestry is home to the largest online collection of notarial records for Quebec. You’ll find records for the province of Quebec covering close to 300 years, from 1637 to 1935, which include acts written by 1,832 notaries.
