== Introduction == | ==Introduction== | ||
Newspaper publication usually began soon after the initial settlement of a place. Since civil registration of [[Canada Vital Records|vital records]] began quite late in many parts of Canada, newspapers can be an excellent alternate source of family information. They may have notices of births, marriages, and deaths; obituaries; and local news. To find information, you will need the place and approximate date of the event. If no newspaper was published in the community at the time, check the newspaper of a nearby town. Canada also had some denominational newspapers that listed births, marriages, and deaths of church members who lived in many parts of the country. | Newspaper publication usually began soon after the initial settlement of a place.
