Decessi nella Nuova Scozia, Canada, 1864-1877, 1890-1970

La Nuova Scozia iniziò la registrazione civile dei decessi nel 1864, che tuttavia cessò nel 1877. I documenti compilati in quel periodo sono inoltre incompleti. La registrazione venne ripresa il 1° ottobre 1908 e da allora la provincia l'ha mantenuta in modo continuativo. Il database include i documenti provenienti da due registri della città di Halifax del periodo 1890–1908. Sebbene alcuni dati potrebbero non essere presenti nei documenti più vecchi, le registrazioni dei decessi possono includere: il nome, il sesso, la data e il luogo del decesso e informazioni di registrazione.

Historical Background

Permanent European settlement in Nova Scotia began with the French in 1604. The area would alternate between British and French control into the next century, and war and politics would play a significant role in determining the eventual demographics of the province. Scottish settlers began arriving as early as 1621 and would become the dominant ethnic group in a province they would eventually share with the English, Irish, German, First Nations, Acadian French, African Nova Scotian, and others.

About the Records

Nova Scotia began civil registration for deaths in 1864, but registration lapsed after 1877, and records compiled during the period are incomplete. Registration resumed 1 October 1908, and the province has maintained records consistently since then. This database does include records from two City of Halifax registers 1890–1908.

Though early records may be missing some data, death registrations can include:

Name
Gender
Date of death
Place of death
Registration year, book, and number

Additional information may be found on the images themselves. This can include birth date, birthplace, occupation, marital status, spouse, names of parents, place of disposition, attending physician, and information on the informant.
