Comments And Suggestions
VITAL RECORDS Civil registration of births, deaths, and marriages began in 1882 in Manitoba. Because many individuals in the early years of registration did not comply, the records are somewhat incomplete up to around 1920. Copies of these records are available, with some restrictions, from Vital Statistics, Manitoba Community Services (see the “Archives and Library” section for the address).
All requests must be submitted on forms available from the Manitoba Community Services.
Between 1920 and 1983, divorce records were kept at the King’s Bench court offices of the province. Since 1983, all divorce records over 25 years old from each of the offices outside Winnipeg or 40 years old in the Winnipeg Eastern Judicial District are being transferred to the Provincial Archives. These records are indexed.
