REGISTERS
There are a number of "Registration Sites" that contain records of
the births, deaths, christenings, and marriages of families. As our
research progresses, I am sure that we will come upon numerous sites, so we have
prepared a folder to file these documents.
Within Canada you can look for records in the Toronto Star "Pages
of the Past" (as well as many other papers), where you can not only
search for individual people (births, deaths, news, etc.) but also to see what
major events took place on the birth date of a particular person. We have
found, for example, specific people named for a person that was in the news at
the time of their birth. (Note: It is best if you first download
the most up-to-date Adobe
Reader so that these files open properly in your web browser.)
As I don't have prior experience searching relatives names in the Eastern
European countries, this is a new adventure. Here are a list of the
research and/or registration sites I have found to date:
