Hi again,
As BrazilianBombshell mentioned, they received a record with parents names. The index has minimal info as you have seen and if you ordered your record it would hopefully have parents as well. Chances are excellent they would be but can’t guarantee it.

Birth, marriage and death records are the responsibilty of each individual province and also subject to privacy laws. There is no central index. The info contained on them varies by province. Each province has a vital statistics website that can be used to order a cert. Price varies by province also.

Depending on the province some records are actually on line through ancestry or familysearch, subject to the aforesaid privacy laws. Some provinces, eg. New Brunswick, have their own vital stats website images available for free.

This link will give you an idea of what would be available to get from the province of Manitoba….

Added: it is my understanding that a marriage index is not yet available for the province of Saskatchewan. So your success is really going to depend on the province you are looking at.

Hello Glenn5,

I suspect your issue is likely related to Canadian privacy legislation. Some info…

I wonder if you might try a step further and ask if they would reconsider if you can prove your relationship to your mother, the original executor. It looks like there might be an issue with your location too, though.

Wish I could be of more help but Canadian privacy laws are very strict. I’m going to ask a moderator to move the thread to the regular Canada board….it will get more exposure there.

I don’t know if you have seen this? It is my understanding that you can write to inquire whether your rellie(s) were interned there.

I wonder if perhaps you might be looking at Old Perlican?

This link will give you some Burseys in Old Perlican. Note as you look through that there is an occasional note connected to a Bussey that indicates an s has been overwritten with an r to indicate Bursey.
