Family names are the core of any genealogical research. These charts show the top 10 surnames that are recorded in the database per family grouping, as well as the frequency of given names, again per family grouping.

Surnames per family. The Leroux family line has the larger number of names due to the lenght of time that they have been present in Quebec and the records available.

Given names per family line/gender. Both families are predominantly Catholic, and as such given names tend to be (historically) fairly long. These charts break given names into the individual names based on spacing, so "Mary Margaret Eileen" will be broken into the three individual names, while "Jean-Baptiste Ovila" would result in two. Accents are removed from the groupings, so GĂ©rard would be counted with Gerard.
