Nova Scotia Historical Vital Statistics Website — New Content
An additional 27,987 'new' historical vital statistics are now waiting for you on www.novascotiagenealogy.com! New content includes births (1908), marriages (1933) and deaths (1958), plus 'delayed' registrations for individuals born in 1908 or earlier but not registered at the time of birth. The delayed registrations are especially interesting — most include several pages of documentation (keep scrolling down....) and the earliest is for someone born in 1830. Happy searching!

New Image Viewing Tool on Nova Scotia Historical Vital Statistics Website

Zoomify™, a Flash-based 'zoom-and-pan' product, is now being used as the image magnification tool on www.novascotiagenealogy.com. We like its flexibility and ready availability for most operating systems and browsers, and we believe you will too!
