These parish register entries, as abstracted by Virginia Easley DeMarce prior to 1989, include baptisms performed in the United States for French Canadians, starting in 1838.

According to Ms. DeMarce, although the parish registers open in 1838, the first entries are actually missionary records kept for the entire Canadian-American border area in that region of Quebec.
