Hi,

Where would I start looking for records of people who were born in NFLD pre-1949; NFLD or England?

Hi Dennis:

http://www.gs.gov.nl.ca/gs/vs/birth-cert.stm
Vital Statistics has birth, marriage and death records from 1892 to the present.

For records prior to 1892, please contact the provincial archives at
http://www.therooms.ca/archives/family_ ... ctions.asp -

http://nl.canadagenweb.org/faq10.htm - gives information on obtaining a NL (Newfoundland and Labrador) birth certificate.

http://fhsnl.ca/ - family history society of Newfoundland and Labrador

Hope these are of help,

Frances

Hello Dennis,
Newfoundland has some great resources online and at their archives in St. John's the capital. if you contact me with some information on who, when, and where ( its a big island) I may be able to help. I grew up in Newfoundland and have done a few trees quite successfully for family and friends. if nothing else I should be able to point you in the right direction.
All the best,
Heather
