What books to use in French Quebec Research

On my very first trip to the Manchester French Canadian Genealogy Society (not really sure of the name).  I found this french Families of Quebec Dictionary   
Which list all the French families that arrived in Quebec from 16?? early up to 1730.  About 100 years.  The longer your family was there more generations are listed in the Dictionnaire Genealogique des familles du Quebec.  
However this book is written in French. However not to had to use.  There are guides in the beginning pages that let you know the symbols for the Birth Marriage & death dates.  As well when they arrived in New France.

New France, French of Quebec, French Families, Ancestors, Ancestors Origins, Family History, Family Lore, Rene Jette,



Then for all in English research. 
 Finding the book with your Ancestor is your first task.  Then you can read a delightful story about them in this series.

Immagrant Style of Dress Was it sensable for their Tasks?

Would the  Immigrating Ancestors found these clothes  a hinderance to their new life in the New World?

Here are clothing styles.  As I believe would not be suited for pastoral life but suited to city life.  Which of course they are over dressed for the Wilderness!

By coping Native American dress, the fur traders were in the fore front of changing styles in New France.

Sylvestre Family Came to Quebec before making their way to Michigan



   They may have lived in small village or a large city.  Like this Quebec.  You can see in this photo how the old French architecture continued in New France.
