9. That's one of the good things

about doing French Canadian genealogy. They generally kept very good records there, and you can view the originals, which was what I did yesterday when there was a question about the names of an ancestor's parents. I looked up the marriage record and saw the original with both parents' names. It's in French, yes, but it only takes a rudimentary knowledge of French to figure out the real important parts.
