Civil governments have created records of births, marriages, and deaths, commonly called "vital records" because they refer to critical events in a person’s life. In Quebec, vital records created by the government are called "civil registration" (état civil), the term generally used outside North America. Vital records are an excellent source of accurate names, dates, and places of births, marriages, and deaths. But the births, marriages, and deaths of many people were never recorded by civil authorities. Other vital records are described in "[[Canada Church Records|Church Records]]" and other sections. | Civil governments have created records of births, marriages, and deaths, commonly called "vital records" because they refer to critical events in a person’s life.
