== What is in This Collection? ==
These records include indexes and images of provincial returns of births, 1869-1906 and late registrations, 1810-1906. The late registrations from 1810 to 1899 are arranged by birth year and then surname. Although the index is complete, images are being added to this collection as they become available.


==== Style Guide  ====
The returns of births, 1870-1906, and the late registration documents which were original certificates and some returns, 1810-1899, are arranged alphabetically within each year.


For guidelines to use in creating wiki articles that describe collections of images and indexes produced by FamilySearch, see: [[FamilySearch Wiki:Guidelines for FamilySearch Collections pages|FamilySearch Wiki: Guidelines for FamilySearch Collections pages ]]
Beginning in 1900, late registration documents are filed in numerical order within each year. An additional set of late registration of births, 1869-1901 had been registered in the years 1900-1901, is arranged by county then chronologically. The typed cards of late birth registrations are arranged alphabetically within the year range of 1810-1899. The years listed are the birth years and not the registration years. There are few returns or certificates for previous years. The "Mc's/Mac's" are filed before the "M's" in each set.


== Collection Time Period<br>  ==
Registrations were kept on printed forms and then bound into volumes. The entries are arranged chronologically by date of registration. Provincial vital registrations are considered a reliable source in family history research because they contain a record of an event usually registered very near the time the event occurred.


This collection includes birth records from 1869-1905, and 1906 (only surnames beginning with letters A-Be); and also late registrations, 1810-1905.  
New Brunswick is one of the four original provinces of Canada. The province entered into the Canadian Confederation on July 1, 1867. Following the passing of the Vital Statistics Act of 1887, registrations of birth were collected and kept by the provincial government. The government collected delayed registrations dating back to 1801. Births were recorded in New Brunswick to better serve public health needs, and to provide demographic and personal identification.

== What Can These Records Tell Me? ==
The following information may be found in these records:


How to Use the Record Begin your search by finding your ancestors in the index. Use the locator information in the index (such as page, entry, or certificate number) to locate your ancestors in the birth records. Compare the information in the birth record to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct person. You may need to compare the information of more than one person to make this determination. Be aware that as with any index, transcription errors may occur. When you have located your ancestor’s birth record, carefully evaluate each piece of information about them. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. For example:
'''Birth'''
{{columns-list|3|
*Date and place of birth
*Child's name and gender
*Was child a single, twin or triple birth
*Was child born alive or stillborn
*Were parents married
*Father name and age
*Father's place of birth
*Father's origin, occupation and residence
*Mother's maiden name and age
*Mother's place of birth
*Some records contain an explanation of why registration was late

=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===
Compare each result from your search with what you know to determine if there is a match. This may require viewing multiple records or images. Keep track of your research in a [[Use_Appropriate_Forms#Prepare_a_Research_Log |research log]].


*Use the birth date along with the place of birth to find the family in census records.
== What Do I Do Next? ==
*Use the residence and names of the parents to locate church and land records.
*The father’s occupation can lead you to employment records or other types of records such as military records.
*The parent’s birth places can tell you former residences and can help to establish a migration pattern for the family.


It is often helpful to extract the information on all children with the same parents. If the surname is unusual, you may want to compile birth entries for every person of the same surname and sort them into families based on the names of the parents. Continue to search the birth records to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives in the same or other generations who were born in the same county or nearby. Keep in mind:  
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
*Add any new information to your records
*Use the information to find other records such as marriage, census, church, land and death records
*Use the occupations to find employment or military records
*Use the information to establish a migration pattern and find additional family members
*Repeat this process with additional family members found, to find more generations of the family
*[[New Brunswick Church Records| Church Records]] often were kept years before government records were required and are a good source for finding ancestors before 1900
=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? === 
*Try viewing the original record to see if there were errors in the transcription of the name, age, residence, etc.  Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name
*Collect entries for every person who has the same surname.  This list can help you identify possible relations that can be verified by records
*If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, then try searching records of a nearby locality in an area search 
*Standard spelling of names typically did not exist during the periods our ancestors lived in. Try variations of your ancestor’s name while searching the index or browsing through images 
*Remember that sometimes individuals went by nicknames or alternated between using first and middle names

What is in This Collection?

These records include indexes and images of provincial returns of births, 1869-1906 and late registrations, 1810-1906. The late registrations from 1810 to 1899 are arranged by birth year and then surname. Although the index is complete, images are being added to this collection as they become available.

The returns of births, 1870-1906, and the late registration documents which were original certificates and some returns, 1810-1899, are arranged alphabetically within each year.

Beginning in 1900, late registration documents are filed in numerical order within each year. An additional set of late registration of births, 1869-1901 had been registered in the years 1900-1901, is arranged by county then chronologically. The typed cards of late birth registrations are arranged alphabetically within the year range of 1810-1899. The years listed are the birth years and not the registration years. There are few returns or certificates for previous years. The "Mc's/Mac's" are filed before the "M's" in each set.

Registrations were kept on printed forms and then bound into volumes. The entries are arranged chronologically by date of registration. Provincial vital registrations are considered a reliable source in family history research because they contain a record of an event usually registered very near the time the event occurred.

New Brunswick is one of the four original provinces of Canada. The province entered into the Canadian Confederation on July 1, 1867. Following the passing of the Vital Statistics Act of 1887, registrations of birth were collected and kept by the provincial government. The government collected delayed registrations dating back to 1801. Births were recorded in New Brunswick to better serve public health needs, and to provide demographic and personal identification.

Additional records and/or images may be added to this collection in the future.
