The legislation governing births registered with Saskatchewan Vital Statistics
allows Vital Statistics to publish a genealogical index of those births that
occurred more than 100 years ago.
Over the years, the data collected on birth registration forms has changed. The
older records have less information available and the database contains limited
information. For example, many of the birth records do not contain the father's
name.
Choosing a specific place of birth will further limit your search. If you are
unsure of the place in Saskatchewan where the person was born, leaving the item
blank will expand the search and return more information. In some cases, the
official document may have been illegible or the information necessary for the
index was not provided. For all information collected at the time of
registration, a photocopy of the record will have to be ordered.
If you wish to purchase photocopies of any of the records you located, simply
add them to your Application Form. No refunds or replacement of documents will
be given for copies of the records issued based on your search. When your
selection is complete, print the Application Form, fill in the address and fee
information and mail or fax it to Vital Statistics. Faxed requests will be
accepted only if the payment method is by credit card and the required
authorizing signature is included.
