I am pleased to present an overview of this year's accomplishments

for the BALSAC Project. Our hard work was rewarded with an important

grant from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, and the project

gained public visibility with an award‐winning exhibition at the Musée du

Fjord. I want to thank the entire BALSAC team for the enthusiasm and

professionalism with which they undertook these initiatives.

Our successes are proof that efforts to promote the project and

catch the interest of researchers in Quebec and abroad were fruitful.

Indeed, new and future improvements to the database raise the possibility

of more original research and collaborations at the national and

international level.

Looking back, I realize that a very important year just went by,

promising a bright future for the BALSAC Project and partners.

2012-2013 Highlights

These are a few of the events that have contributed to the success and visibility of the BALSAC Project and made this an exceptional year.

Research Grant

from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation

The BALSAC Project is one of three social science infrastructures to receive funding from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI) in the 2012 Leading Edge Fund Competition. The grant is funded by the CFI and the ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche, de la Science et de la Technologie du Québec, who each contributed $825,000. The remainder of the grant comes from the research funds of the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi and other partner institutions, namely the Research Program in Historical Demography (PRDH) at the Université de Montréal and the Centre interuniversitaire d’études québécoises (CIEQ) of the Université de Trois-Rivières.

The objective is to create an integrated infrastructure of historical microdata on the Quebec population (IMPQ). The IMPQ will regroup in one database all the serial microdata available on the Quebec population since the early days of European settlement, namely vital records and nominal data from the Canadian censuses. This will position the insfrastructure among leading research entities at the international level and allow us to preserve, develop and valorize a unique scientific and historical resource about the Quebec population.

Recruitment for the Genealogical Component

of the CARTaGENE Project

BALSAC is coordinating the genealogical component of the second phase of the CARTaGENE Project. This involves getting informed consent from participants and managing, collecting and compiling the results of a genealogical questionnaire.

The development of an electronic genealogical questionnaire and management application was finalized in the fall of 2012. The first questionnaires were sent out to participants in January 2013. In total, between January and August 2013, 7527 people were invited to participate in the genealogical option. The second recruitment phase should continue until March 2014.

The information collected from the participants will be used to reconstitute genealogical lineages that can then be used for research in conjunction with other data on health and life habits collected by CARTaGENE.

Rec o gn it io n fo r t h e Musée du Fjo rd

an d Part n ers

Since June 2012, the Musée du Fjord has been hosting a new permanent exhibition, Des racines et des rêves : un regard neuf sur le Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. With a chronological timeline of the history of the region based on the birth, marriage and death certificates carefully recorded in parish registers, the exhibit explores themes related to heredity, the Saguenay utopia, and the life of pioneer families and couples. In the last year, thanks to this partnership, 30,000 visitors at the Musée du Fjord had a chance to discover BALSAC and see the work accomplished by our researchers.

Development Activities Developed over the last 40 years at the UQAC, the BALSAC database was built from Quebec vital records (mainly marriage certificates). These records were digitized and interconnected using a linkage method based on nominative information that allows for the automatic reconstruction of genealogical relations over almost four centuries.

RECORDS PRIOR TO 1800 The BALSAC database also includes 69,000 marriage certificates dating before 1800, which were obtained from the Research Program in Historical Demography (PRDH) of the Université de Montréal through exchanges and other collaboration agreements. NON CATHOLIC RECORDS Non‐Catholic records from 1800 to 1965 were entered only for some census divisions and sub‐periods. They represent 13 to 14% of all marriages, but most of those records cannot be linked due to lack of information (especially records dating before 1930).

Developing the Census Linkage Program

The goal of the project is to combine Canadian census data with Quebec vital records by developping a computer-assisted linkage program that will allow us to match households from the census to families reconstituted in the BALSAC database on a nominal basis. This project was completed in 2012-2013.

Now fully developed, this program is composed of three modules: RECBAL, which links census data to BALSAC families, BALREC, which does the reverse, and RECREC, which links sets of data from distinct censuses. In the past year, an individual linkage function was added to enable us to match individuals common in both sources (households or families).

To this day, over 3 million records have

been digitized. This includes all Catholic marriages (about 85% of all marriages)

in Quebec from 1621 to 1965. The database also includes birth and death

certificates from 1838 to 1971 for the region of Saguenay-Lac St-Jean.

All those records went through the linking process of family reconstruction

and only the most complex cases remain to be matched.

In parallel to the implementation of this program, a new interface was developed to allow us to more efficiently manage the settings, the linkage process and references to auxiliary sources. The program will power an important upcoming linkage operation made possible by the CFI grant.

Continuing Development

with Support from the MDEIE

In the past year, we entered the second phase of the project to standardise the 44,518 professions recorded in the BALSAC database using an international scheme for the classification of occupations (HISCO) and class (HISCLASS) developed by a history research group from the Netherlands (http://historyofwork.iisg.nl/). We modeled the operations in the first phase, so in phase 2 we are adopting a strategy to order the coding of the remaining occupations in decreasing order of frequency in the BALSAC database, as it is much simpler to establish correspondence when occupational titles are common. To date, over 26,000 occupations have been recoded, or over 85% of all occupations mentioned in the database.

The many waves of database expansion over the past 12 years have led to a surge in the quantity and diversity of contents in the dictionary of names and surnames, a core part of the family reconstitution system. This necessitated some revisions to the standardization rules, which began this year. This operation will significantly improve the effectiveness of the linkage procedure, which is based principally in the comparison of nominal data. The surname dictionary, which includes over 295,000 records, has been entirely revised, and work has begun on female and male first names, which represent over 579,000 records.

In collaboration with the UQAC information technology services (STI), which manages the technological infrastructure of the BALSAC Project, we continued to revise the structure of the database and the linkage process this year. After we completed preparations for the migration to the new structure, the relational scheme was completely revised. A number of new fields were added or edited to include information from other sources than vital records. Concretely, this resulted in a full migration from the INGRES database management system to SQL Server.

Explo it ing the Dat a

The main indicator of the Project's performance is the total number of researchers who use the infrastructure, which has a direct impact on the number of publications using the data. In the last year, BALSAC data was used for 42 research projects involving 47 researchers and over 60 students, assistants and research professionals.

Users’ Affiliations :

Furthermore, as per its mandate as a research infrastructure in the Réseau de médecine génétique du Québec, BALSAC provides researchers with access to anonymized genealogical data that can be combined with genetic data from the laboratory of Damian Labuda at the Research Centre of CHU Ste-Justine. This data is available on the Quebec Reference Sample - Population Genetics and Genetic Epidemiology in Quebec website at this address: http://www.quebecgenpop.ca/

Last year, two researchers downloaded data from this site:

Ole K. Hansen, Associate Professor Forest & Landscape, University of Copenhagen

Shaila A. Musharoff, PhD Candidate Bustamante Lab, Dept. of Genetics, Stanford University.

CARTaGENE Project Partic ipants

We received two requests for access to the genealogical data from the first recruitment phase of the CARTaGENE project this year from:

Marc Tremblay, UQAC : Analysis of the genealogical characteristics of CARTaGENE participants.

Laurent Excoffier, Université de Berne: Testing the accumulation of deleterious mutations during spatial expansion through exome sequencing.

Last January began the reconstitution of the lineages of 5,413 CARTaGENE participants who consented to provide their genealogical information. The work should be completed by the end of 2013.

The following students were hired to work on this project: Laurence Côté-Lavoie, Angela Brunschwig, Sara-Jeanne Lemieux, David Grant-Poitras and Gabrielle Rouleau from the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi.

Creating a Demo-Genetic Portrait

of the Quebec Po pulation

Supported by the Réseau de médecine génétique appliquée of the FRQS among others, this activity has for objective to produce a demo-genetic portrait of the Quebec population based on BALSAC data. The goal is to demonstrate the value of the database while providing scientific information on the population. Results from these analyses are shared on the BALSAC website and in popular science capsules. This year, the following topics were investigated:

The Ancestors of the Contemporary Quebec Population

Using a sample of 25,757 ascending genealogies representing 5% of all couples married in Quebec between 1925 and 1948 to describe ancestors, founders, paternal and maternal lineages, etc.

Consanguinity in the Regional Populations of Quebec

Using the same 25,757 genealogies to compare the rate of consanguinity in regional populations in Quebec.

Kinship in the Regional Populations of Quebec

Developing a sample of over 46,000 genealogies representative of the population at different periods to study the evolution of kinship in time and space.

Quebec Patronyms Analyzing the frequency and regional distribution of patronyms between 1650 and 1950 using the name of the spouses from over a million marriage certificates.

Founder Effects in Quebec and their Spatial Implications

Describing regional founder effects based on the genealogical analysis of almost 1000 subjects suffering from hereditary diseases and matching control groups.

Amerindian Contribution to the Genetic Heritage of Quebec

Developing strategies to identify Amerindians in the BALSAC database by combining different genealogical and genetic variables.

Reaching a Wider Publ ic Completed in 2012, the exhibition at Musée du Fjord and the new and improved website helped increase the visibility of the BALSAC Project. Since September 2012, we have taken advantage of many opportunities to meet the public and make them aware of the project. Genealogists have solicited our participation in the 15th conference of the Fédération québécoise des sociétés de généalogie and the conference of the Société de généalogie de Québec. Musée du Fjord also invited over twenty interested people from diverse backgrounds for a presentation on the use of BALSAC, as a tool for the genealogical study of genetic heritage in Quebec. Finally, over 125 students from different high schools, colleges and universities were introduced to the potential of the population database in university research in a speech to the participants at the provincial finals of the Expo-Science Bell at the UQAC. BALSAC was also featured in the 2013 edition of the Montreal Spring School in Population Genomics and Genetic Epidemiology, attended by over 30 students from different Canadian and foreign universities.

Maintain ing a Diverse Network

In order to ensure the visibility of the project and improve the services offered to the scientific community, BALSAC is involved in several national and international collaborations.

Quebec Reference Sample Population Genetics and Genetic Epidemiology in Quebec The Population Genetics component of the Réseau de médecine génétique appliquée has for objective to analyse the genetic diversity of the Quebec population, to identify demographic and historical factors that shaped the genetic heritage and understand their influence on health.

Montreal Spring School of Population Genomics and Genetic Epidemiology Over the last 5 years, the BALSAC database and relevant analysis tools are presented in an annual workshop open to the scientific community.

With Community Associations

Corporation de recherche et d’action sur les maladies héréditaires (CORAMH) Non-profit organisation working to prevent hereditary diseases in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean through awareness, information and education.

Regroupement québécois des maladies orphelines (RQMO) RQMO is a group of associations whose members or their family are suffering from rare diseases. Its mandate is to further knowledge on rare diseases, facilitate contact between caregivers and patients and raise awareness.

Access to Data and Protection of Privacy The BALSAC Project's partner institutions have given to the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi the responsibility to manage access to the database and protect the confidentiality of the personal information it contains. For this purpose, the UQAC Board of Directors has entrusted the application of the Policy on Access to BALSAC Data for Research Purposes to the Committee for the Protection of Privacy and Access to Data (CPAD) and the BALSAC Project directors.

Report from the Committee

for th e Protection of Pr iv acy

an d A cces s to Dat a

The CPAD is the entity charged with evaluating requests for access to confidential data for research purposes. It is composed of five members:

Marc Tremblay, Professor, Human Sciences, UQAC;

Jacinthe Douesnard, Professor, Economic and Administrative Sciences, UQAC;

François Guérard, Professor, Human sciences, UQAC;

Christine Drolet, Communications Consultant, Chicoutimi Health and Social Services Centre;

Michèle Jomphe, Research Professional, BALSAC Project.

In order to facilitate the evaluation of the requests for access, an evaluation grid was developed (see sidebar) that enables the CPAD to classify projects based on three criteria related to the characteristics and origins of the participants and the type of data requested. Only requests for access to confidential data go through the CPAD, others are handled by BALSAC management.

Report from th e BALSA C Direct io n

The Steering Committee takes all decisions related to access to non-confidential data. The committee includes Hélène Vézina, Mario Bourque, Ève-Marie Lavoie and Michèle Jomphe. Jean-Sébastien Bournival provides assistance to the Committee to manage forms and agreements related to access to the data. In 2012-2013, five new requests for access to non-confidential data and eight requests for extensions were submitted to the Committee.
