Each Canadian province and territory has different laws about birth, marriage and death registrations, how and what information was collected, and when those records are released into the public domain. This presentation will discuss where to find the records and how to access them.

Thank you
Great presentation. Good information, especially since there is such diversity in each Canadian province. thank you
Thank you, I heard most of it and it was very informative and simple to understand!
I was hoping for more information on Ontario, but I understand that would be difficult when trying to cover all of Canada. If possible, I would prefer to hear more specific in-depth topics, such as focusing on a single province at a time, although I understand why that might not be possible. Otherwise the speaker was excellent, and the information was presented in a concise and clear manner. A pleasure to listen to, thank you.
Interesting
Just starting to do some genealogy research in Canada; perfect timing and information to help me get started. Thank you.
Kathryn did as well as she could, it seems, with the limited time of the webinar. Thanks for commenting about Ontario being shut down for COVID and other things like that!
Kathryn is a fabulous presenter and I’m always interested in Canadian content to make my research journey less challenging.
Kathryn provided lots of great information on which bmd records are extant in each province, and where to look for original records. 🙂
