Ontario Birth Indexes and Registrations Information.

Births - Indexes 1869-1903

If you have a birth in Ontario to find the record for, the birth has to have occurred between 1869 and 1902 for the following information to be of any help at all. It this is the case proceed, else go check on the information on ordering from the Registrar Generals' Office for births after 1902. For births before 1869, baptismal records will be your best bet, and this site can offer only a little help on them.

Finding a record for an 1869-1902 Ontario birth is a 2 step process. First you must find the birth recorded in the appropriate index below, and then you use the registration number you have located to choose the proper registration film.

The previous page explained the use of the information that is on the index films.

Once you have found the registration number and year of registration, you can use the following links to either the Archives of Ontario Birth Registration microfilm lists, or the Latter Day Saints Library list of films for Ontario Birth Registrations. Both listings contain an explanation of how the registration numbers are used. You should read it if you are not sure of how delayed registrations are handled. I have included a copy of the information from the Archives of Ontario Catalog in the section below.
