-===Introduction===
-Some births, marriages, and deaths were registered in Saskatchewan as early as 1878. Since 1920 there has been complete registration of births, marriages, deaths, and divorces. There is a '''''partial''''' index for these records.&nbsp; The government of Saskatchewan has a searchable vital statistics database for births and deaths at: [http://genealogy.ehealthsask.ca/vsgs_srch.aspx Genealogy Index Searches] or [https://www.ehealthsask.ca/residents/genealogy Genealogy].
-Civil registration of marriages began in 1878 and registration of births and deaths in Saskatchewan began in 1888. The Saskatchewan Vital Statistics branch of Information Services Corporation of Saskatchewan is responsible for holding birth, marriage and death registrations.
-However, due to the difficulties of bringing in a new system in the early years, many birth, marriage and death registrations were not recorded until approximately 1920. Due to privacy issues, birth and marriage certificates are not normally issued except to the individual themselves or to his/her agent or direct descendants.
