I wish there was a way to get more recent vital stats for Ontario but they are very strict about privacy acts. Other than the years I have listed below, you must know the actual date of marriage and apply for certificate providing all kinds of information including your relationship to people you want the information on. This is what is currently available to general public. Office of the Registrar General of Ontario for: Births: 1869-1906 Marriages: c. 1801-1921 (Note: There are many gaps in pre-1869 marriage records) Deaths: 1869-1931 All of these records are publicly available on microfilm. Another year of records is sent annually to the Archives. These are restricted until they have been made available on microfilm. The latest transfer (1907 births, 1922 marriages, 1932 deaths) is being filmed and will be available some time in 2004. For more recent registrations, you must contact the Office of the Registrar General. Good Luck Sandra |

Thanks for your help Sandra. The sad thing about this is that I have actually traced the family of the people in this marriage they are my Grandfathers younger brothers descendants. I have asked them for details but they do not appear to want to help me. I have over 400 people on my tree and this is the first time I have found an actual blood tie and there is no response.

Hi Janet & Brenda I have first cousins whom I have asked information from and although they say they will get back to me, I have waited and waited and still nothing. My one remaining paternal Aunt has an album with pictures of my Dad as a youngster and other pictures that I do not have and I have asked repeatedly for a scan of them or to have them copied and 2 yrs later I still do not have them. I don't understand the reluctance to help. It does not take that much time. These same cousins lament that they cannot understand why the research on their husband's family does not get shared with them. Too bad they cannot see they are perhaps the reason!!! Good luck with your hunts Sandra |
