Lévis, Saint-Henri-de-Lauzon 1804-1809
Looking at "Canada, Quebec Catholic Parish Registers, 1621-1979"
https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1321742
I selected "Browse all images"; then "Saint-Henri"; then "Saint-Henri-de-Lauzon"; which gives us:
- Baptêmes, mariages, sépultures 1766-1803
- Baptêmes, mariages, sépultures 1810-1824
Click the first link (1766-1803); proceed to Image 4 and see:
- 07-fev-1766 to 25-mar-1784
- 01-jan-1804 to 30-dec-1809
- 8-mars-1784 to 30-dec-1803
Where can I find scan of records for 1804-1809?

Well, that is certainly an interesting question. If you look at the worksheet near the beginning of the record, it shows there are two items on the roll - 1766 to 1809 and 1784 to 1803. So at the beginning are records from the early years (1766) and down to 1809. For instance, 1805 index starts at the bottom of image 122 (much more starting on image 123); 1806 begins on image 128, 1808 runs from 178 to 199, 1809 is 203-224, index is image 225 to 227. (Those are just some spot checks.)
Item 2 begins with 1784, starting on image 229, with an index starting on 231. That is the series that runs from march 1784 to dec 1803.
The worksheets near the front of the films are helpful, once you figure them out. It's always good to take a look. Records are not always completely chronological/consecutive. There were interruptions int he records (put in different volumes, apparently).
Another (subscription required) fantastic source for Quebec records is genealogiequebec.com from the Drouin Institute. They have an index for baptisms and burials covering early years down to about 1861, and marriages indexed for all years down to the 1930's or so. You can see an indexed transcription of key facts of the record and also a link to view the record. Not free but very reasonably priced if you are a heavy Quebec researcher. Ancestry.com also can search the Drouin collection for baptism, marriage and burial records, but you need the name you are looking for. It is not of the same quality as the formal Drouin LaFrance index, but still helpful.
My grandmother (Couture) was born in Levis, so I have a lot of relatives up in that area. I live in Vermont.
