Marriages
Marriage records follow a predetermined form where the priest had to give basic information on the event: The date of the marriage, the groom and his parents (or previous spouse when widower), the bride and her parents (or previous spouse with widow), any person serving as witness when the father of the groom/bride was deceased, and, to the taste of the celebrant, other witnesses attending the ceremony.
What a record looks like
For this exercise, lets take the first marriage that was celebrated at Sainte-Marguerite-de-Blairfindie and see what we come up with:
M. de Aléxis Côté, et M. Josephte Gladu:

A Translation

What we'll extract
- Reference: M-1
- Marriage: 23 octobre 1784
- Groom: Aléxis Côté, resident of the parish
- Groom's parents: Joseph Côté, & feue Dorothée Tremblay residents of Baie Saint-Paul
- Bride: Marie Josephte Gladu
- Bride's parents: Jean Baptiste Gladu & feue Marie Anne Brosseau (of this parish)
- Notes: 3 banns published.

So from this, we can easily confirm that the groom, his bride and her father were living in L'Acadie, so those three names will be part of the study. The witnesses (all those uncles) could be from anywhere, so they will not be part of the study.
This is an index only. No literal transcription nor translation will be done here.
L'Acadie's parish records start in October 1784. We'll go from there.
