Yes we did! Thankfully it was only 4 or 5 generations but it was really difficult. Turns out that Quebec birth records only existed as parish records prior to some date
We used Ancestry to help build the initial family tree but after that you have to do some digging to find each province’s/state’s method of finding historical records. For Quebec that’s the BANQ. We also had an old genealogical record that a Québécois preacher wrote ages ago about the ancestral line (that’s what the French in my OP says, I’ve been studying French and knew enough to parse it)

What sites did you use? I’m using family search and am having issues finding the records I need.
