  1. Click on “Annuaire alphabétique montréalais” if you are looking for a person – (You do have other options)

  2. Then click on the letter of the last name – in my case K for  Keyes

  3. Then the top portion of each page with the letter “i.e. K” appears.

  4. You pick the page where you guess by alphabet (I went to the page that showed KEY at the top” – click on the portion of the page that appears, then the full page opens.

  5. There were a few years that I couldn’t get to open – but was able to view most years.

  6. The first name of the person is often abbreviated – for example my father’s name Victor comes up as “Vic” and my grandfather and uncle’s first names that were both Andrew comes up as “And”
