UdeM

The information of the data base is presented in three distinct, but interrelated, sections: a repertory of vital events, a genealogical dictionnary and a repertory of couples. In the present example, the point of entry is the repertory of vital events.

A first page defines a research of all certificates of the 1760-1765 period where a FRANCOIS RAVARY is named. This research returns a list of references, one for each mention of a FRANCOIS RAVARY in a certificate. The dates carry a link to the corresponding certificate as stored in the data base; here, the marriage of FRANCOIS RAVARY in 1761 was retained as example.

The names of individuals appearing in blue have a link to the file of the individual in the genealogical dictionary; see FRANCOIS RAVARY's or his wife's. Furthermore, in marriage certificates, the word "Couple" points to the file of the couple in the repertory of couples.

In the individual files, the words or expressions "Family", "First, second... marriage" point to the corresponding family files in the dictionary. See RAVARY and his  wife's.

So each of the three sections can be accessed through a research that can be circumscribed if desired, and the different pages from the repertories of vital events and couples or from the genealogical dictionary carry links to the corresponding elements in the other sections. Navigation at its best!
