Quebec Marriage Contract Index, 1761-1941

This is an Index des contrats de mariage, Québec, Canada, 1761 à 1946 at Ancestry.com, taken from the original notary data at the Bibliothèque et Archives Nationales du Québec (BAnQ).

It is especially useful with the earlier marriages because they can be included in the notary records rather than at the church records, so they deserve a look.
