If you have French-Canadian relatives, the Drouin collection is an excellent research resource.
The Red Drouin books contain abstracts of marriage records from Quebec (1608-1760)
The index of these records were printed in English, but the Church Records are in French.

No need for French and Italian ancestry yourself-- I don't have any. Just happen to have an ex-father-in-law who is French-Canadian, and an ex-mother-in-law who is Italian People have all sorts of reasons for getting married, and expanding the scope of one's genealogical research is not the worst of them
Seriously, the Drouin collection that Marilyn mentions is really a wonderful resource. Every marriage gives the parents' names and their place of abode, which means that when they first marry in Canada back in the 1600s or so, it gives the place of origin in France (if you can read the 17th century priest's handwriting...) I wish the early puritan records in the U.S. were as detailed!
All the best,
Sarah
