Our genealogy research services offer you the option of either ordering a research package or of doing the research yourself on the premises using the many resources available in our archives and library.

Ordering Genealogy Research Services

We offer five kinds of genealogy research options:

• Proof of Métis ancestry package
• Ten-generation family tree book
• Twelve-generation family tree book
• Fifteen-generation family book
• Hourly fee: This option makes it possible to order searches to be done by genealogy specialists at the rate of $30 an hour. This usually involves searching for specific details such as more information on one particular ancestor (occupations, siblings’ names, cause of death, etc.)

Doing Your Own Research

If you wish to do your own research, the Centre du patrimoine gives you access to a wealth of genealogical materials (Collections and Research Materials).

The Centre du patrimoine has dedicated the Lionel-Dorge Room to research. This spacious, well-lit area with big tables offers a comfortable setting in which researchers can do their work. The Centre also offers a free WiFi connection (just ask for the password) and there are electrical outlets for your laptop computer at every table.

The Lionel-Dorge Room is equipped with a microfiche reader, microfilm readers, a microfilm and microfiche digitizer, and computers with our own databases and access to the Internet, all for the use of researchers.
 

The Centre du Patrimoine charges $5.00 a day for personal research. This fee is forgone if you become a member of the Société historique de Saint-Boniface.
