La Prairie baptisms, marriages and burials

A fruitful collaboration with the Société d’histoire de La Prairie-de-la-Magdeleine has enabled us to add all of La Nativité de la Sainte-Vierge de Laprairie de la Magdelaine (Notre-Dame) parish’s baptisms and burials from 1862 to 2000, as well as all marriages from 1919 to 2000.

In all, nearly 30,000 records have been added.
