British Columbia Naturalization and Citizenship: Difference between revisions

:*This database is one of the few Canadian genealogical resources specifically designed to benefit those researchers with roots outside of the British Commonwealth.  

:*'''References located on the digitized lists can be used to request copies of the actual naturalization records''', which are held by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

:*The database provides access to two sets of records.

::*The first set covers the years 1915 to 1946 and contains 491,849 references to names that occurred in 1915 to 1946 lists that were published in order of certificate number; and in all supplementary lists of special cases that were added at the end of the normal annual lists for all years from 1915 to 1946. Information on these people has been entered and is searchable by name, given name and country.

::*The second set covers the years 1947 to 1951 and contains the digital images of the lists published in the Canada Gazette during those years. Information has not been entered and is not searchable by name, given name and country. It is searchable only by month and year of publication in the Canada Gazette.
