Hi Rea, Welcome to the list! Each province has a different set-up. I think BC has the easiest and least expensive access to Vital Records, so keep your fingers crossed that your relatives lived here!:-) You can check here: http://www2.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/cgi-bin/www2vsd The name you mention in your subject line (Trembley) has 13 entries in the death index. If you see ones there that you'd like to get a copy of , just let us know. There are several of us who will be happy to get them for you.
