Hi folks

My investigations have taken me into new ground in Canada, the web sites that I have had a look at will not allow me to search anything that is younger than 120 years ago. I need to research family ties from around 1940 -1960 in the area of British Columbia.

Are there any free sites that I can use to find out births etc that any one knows of

Thanking everyone in anticipation

thanks folks for the quick replies but it is the births from 1940 -1960 that I really need to be able to find

This site has addresses and telephone numbers in Canada, I just tried Barber in Vancouver, BC and there were 19.
