Canada New Brunswick

What is in this Collection?
This index is an electronic index for the years 1819 to 1899.

This index is not complete for any particular place, region or time period. This collection may include information previously published in the International Genealogical Index or Vital Records Index collections.

How Can I Search the Collection?
To begin your search it is helpful to know:
 * The name of your ancestor.
 * The approximate year of birth or baptism.
 * The names of the child's parents.
 * The names of family members and their relationships.

Search by Name by visiting the Collection Page: Fill in the requested information in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the ancestors in the list to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to find your ancestor.

What Do I Do Next?
When you have located your ancestor’s birth or baptism record, carefully evaluate each piece of information about them. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors.

I Found Who I was Looking for, What Now?

 * Use the citation or other information on the record to find the original record. Because this is only an index, it's important to find the original record to verify the information and to also see if any additional information was given. Note: a GS number listed on the record is usually the microfilm number on which the original record can usually be found.

I Can't Find Who I'm Looking for, What Now?

 * Don't forget to try variations on the name spelling.
 * It may be more useful to switch to a different collection. You can try looking in this New Brunswick Birth Collection for images of your ancestor's birth record.

Citing This Collection
When you copy information from a record, you should list where you found the information; that is, cite your sources. This will help people find the record again and evaluate the reliability of the source. It is also good to keep track of records where you did not find information, including the names of the people you looked for in the records. Citations are available for the collection as a whole and each record or image individually. Collection Citation
