Nova Scotia Vital Statistics
Nova Scotia is the first province in Canada to digitize all of its Historical Vital Statistics and make them available online in a fully searchable database.When you enter novascotiagenealogy.com, you’ll find a fully searchable database containing one million names. Every name is linked to its original record, which will be within one of the following record groups:
- Births 1864-1877
- Delayed Births 1836-1908
- Marriages - Bonds 1763-1864
- Marriages - Registrations 1864-1933
- Deaths 1864-1877 and 1908-1958
You will be able to view the actual record in digitized form, and by using the Viewpoint® plug-in that they have provided, you'll also be able to read every detail entered on the original registration.
