The Provincial Archives of New Brunswick has digitized 622 late birth registrations for 1922 and 4,862 digitized images of death certificates for 1966.
The province’s Registrar of Vital Statistics could record as official the birth of an individual years after the fact, as long as there was verification of the birth by the doctor or others who were present or had knowledge of the event.
The indexes contain the name of the person whose birth is being registered late, name of father, name of mother, date of birth, place and county of birth, the microfilm number and document code where the actual late registration form can be found and viewed. This information is transferred to the Provincial Archives for public inspection 95 years after the year of birth.
The online Index to Late Registrations of Birth provides 111,345 records, from 1810 to 1922.
The online Index to Death Certificates provides 231,784 records, from 1918 to 1966.
