If
researching the Pilon
family I know of several Pilon
books;
-

Bernard Pilon Family, by Robert Louis Pilon. This book deals primarily
with the author's Pilon line but it also contains a wealth of information
on all known Pilon lines.

researching other Quebec
French-Canadian families I
recommend;

Cyprien Tanguay. A standard reference tool covering nine volumes and
5,700 pages. Lists alphabetically by family name most of the more than

understand.
