Locating the Registrations of Vital Statistics After the Public Domain Cut-off Dates
For registrations of more current events, you must contact the [https://www.orgforms.gov.on.ca/eForms/start.do. Registrar General in Thunder Bay]. They will forward an application form to be completed. This will give you the information necessary to determine if you qualify for access to these records as well as the current costs. You can find information and downloadable forms at their website.

Note: Each year an additional set of records is released to the Archives of Ontario where they are microfilmed and placed in the public reading room. Therefore, depending on when you access this information, another year may have already been released. Check with the Archives first to see if what you need is now available.

Genealogical Societies
Thirty-two regional branches make up the Ontario Genealogical Society. They each hold meetings, sponsor speakers and workshops, create and hold documents that are often not available anywhere else, and field queries from afar. In general, the local genealogy or family history society knows how to access people with knowledge you are seeking and where to look for records you need. They are regarded as having much expertise for the local area. A “branch locator” tool is available. It also identifies special interest groups within the Ontario Genealogical Society.

United Church Archives
The United Church of Canada Archives holds a number of local church records of the United Church and its uniting denominations (Methodist, Congregational, Presbyterian (1925 union); and Evangelical United Brethren—joined in 1968). The records of the churches which did not join at union but remained part of the continuing Presbyterian Church in Canada after 1925 are held in the Presbyterian Church Archives; see address listed below. Geographic Distribution: For the above denominations, this Archives holds local church records for the five Ontario Conferences with headquarters in Ontario (excluding the counties of Carleton, Dundas, Glengarry, Grenville, Prescott, Russell and Stormont—which are part of the Montréal/Ottawa Conference; and Cambrian Presbytery in northwestern Ontario—part of the Manitoba and Northwest Conference; and including three churches in Noranda, Val d’Or and Temiskaming, Québec). Other United Church local church records are available in Conference archives across Canada; the addresses of these are at the end of each appropriate Provincial Chapter.
