Find Living Relatives

hi I was wondering what is the best site to look up Canada records to find family members please

you could try familysearch

https://familysearch.org/search/

thank you malyon x ill give it a go

that doesn't give ones of living there now x

http://www.familylink

www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/genealogy

ill try thank you so much


just tried it no page comes up

Privacy rules are I believe much tighter in Canada, so finding living people can be difficult, try googling for the names you are looking for, sometimes obituaries of other family members contain useful info.

There are several people on here who have more experience of Canadian research so hopefully they will be able to advise :-) :-)

type in search, Canadian records, web sites should come up

thankyou so you all x

If you've a reasonable idea of an area, and a less common surname, try online phone books.

Ancestry do have a number of Electoral Rolls, from memory to 1960. It might be a bit later than that.

Access to Canadian BMD is far stricter than ours. Although it varies from Province to Province, on average it's 100 years for a birth and slightly more recent for marriages & deaths. All the same, you're unlikely to find official records for the last 30 years. Certainly not a marriage within the last 50.

the surname I am looking for is Cameron in Canada
and I am doing this for a friend we have a few details to go on but not a great deal
thank you for the information you have provided

Do you have any idea where in Canada? It's a big country and Cameron is quite a common surname.

If you know place and first name, as well as surname Cameron, you could try this:

james alexander Cameron born 23 July 1944 in Edinburgh and passed 19th feb 2013
in poole hospital aged 68/69
I am trying to trace his three children
ian Cameron
keith Cameron ( both men would be in their mid 30-40's
there is a sister as well the children were all born in Canada
there mothers name is Sharon she is aged 70 so abt 1946 born
possibly Toronto area as she is going over paper work she has

they are unaware of there fathers passing

Is there a Poole hospital in Canada? Or is it the one in Poole, Dorset?

Edit: Answered my own question:

You say,
"there mothers name is Sharon she is aged 70 so abt 1946 born
possibly Toronto area as she is going over paper work she has "

Do you mean Sharon was possibly born in Toronto, or the children were born there - or perhaps live there now?

Who is "going over paperwork"?

Have you any idea where in Canada Sharon lives now?

That record above is the correct one

Sharon and the three children was born in Toronto

I am doing this for a friend as she is trying to find her half siblings
And yes they all live there now

I wonder how you know that they all live in Toronto now? Has there been contact? Do you have an address?

How recent is the paperwork your friend has?

Unfortunately there are large numbers of S /Sharon / I / Ian / K / Keith Camerons in Toronto, let alone the rest of Canada.

There was contact in the 70's as they came over for a funeral

And there has been no contact since,
