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:
 
*Use the birth date along with the place of birth to find the family in census records.
*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:
 
*The information in birth records is usually reliable, but depends upon the reliability of the informant.
*Earlier records may not contain as much information as the records created after the late 1800s.
*There is also some variation in the information given from record to record.

New Brunswick is one of the four original provinces of Canada. It 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. Also, the government collected delayed registrations dating back to 1801.
