Are there any reference sheets for the Drouin microfilm collection showing microfilm numbers that can be downloaded?  I know the NEHGS has a guide.  I have quite a bit of French-Canadian ancestry.

Hi everyone, this is my first attempt at sharing here. This is what I have as a direct line at the moment.

ABRAHAM COTE

  b. abt 1577, Mortagne, Perche, France  m Francoise Genevieve Loisel

Jean Dit Coste Cote b. 1603, Mortagne, Perche, France m  Anne Martin

Jean-Noel Cote b. 4 Mar 1646, Quebec, Quebec, Canada m Helene Graton

Joseph Cote b. 22 Oct 1692, St Laurent, Montmorency Co. Quebec, Canada m Marie Anne Lamber

Louis Joseph Cote  b. 24 Aug 1723, St Antoine deTilly, Lotbiniere, Quebec, Canada m Marie Josette Josephte Pion (Pilon)

| Augustin Joseph Cote m Marie-Joseph Bérard  b. 1760, Verchéres,

Jean Baptiste Olivier Cote b. abt 1780, Quebec, Canada m Angelique Marie Bedard b. 29 Jul 1789, Charlesbourg, 

Oliver Basil Cota b. abt 1816, Quebec, Canada m Sophia Ellen Bedard b. 23 Mar 1829, Bathurst Twp., Lanark

Charles Cota  b 1868  Bedford,  m Margaret Charlotte Bertram b. 15 Aug 1873, Hichenbrook, Frontenac Co., Ontario, Canada

Charles and Margaret were my maternal Great Grandparents and were the first couple to be married in the St Paul's Anglican Church in Westport

 Am searching for 

Yonnet (Yon) Bedard (Bedeau) ca 1440 - not sure where he fits at the moment.
