Funny - I've always heard that the cause of death would be blanked out unless requested. I've ordered several death certs and the cause of death was always blanked out. Unless, of course, this is something new. I would suggest asking specifically for the cause of death when you fill in the form, just in case - tell them you're doing a medical genealogy!!

I phoned the office and was told that if I stated I wanted a certificate for genealogy purposes that the cause of death would not be blanked out.... so hears hoping .... I will try again!

I believe that even if you ask for a death cert for genealogy purposes, the cause of death is still blacked out. For whatever reason you are asking for a death cert, you have to specifically state that you want the cause of death and why. I wouldn't waste the time or money sending for another death cert.

Hi Mary Anne, A few years ago I received a death cert. from Manitoba with the "cause of death" blocked out. A couple of years later I sent them a photocopy of the one they sent plus a note saying that I would like to have a copy of a cert. with it not crossed out and they did send it to me. You could try this before you pay again.

Just a note here: If you are wanting certificates for genealogy research, please let them know that. I paid for one for my grandmother and when I got it the "cause of death" had been blocked out. Now I have to re order and get one that is not blocked, and since it was some time ago I will have to pay for a new one. Manitoba is not easy to get info from and it seems I will have to spend quite a bit to get all of the death and birth info that I need.

Thanks for your input, Mary Anne! When I send back my check and re-application for my great Uncle's death certificate, I'll include the information that I seek the information for genealogical purposes. Appreciation to all those who responded to my query . I'm not giving up! All because of the help on this list.

I seem to remember someone saying there where records of where people lived . I suppose it would be phone books or such. I trying to find out how long my ggrandfather lived at an address in WINNIPEG, He , James BATEMAN, died in 1924 and lived at 270 DUNROBIN AVE. any ideas coralynn

Hi Tricia: Thank you for the information. I will have to find a different route. Marietta

Manitoba has no death index. The gov't is still playing the game of holding the records for ransom, and requiring you to send them an exorbitant payment for doing a search for which the chances are they'll send you the wrong certifiacte in the end. Tricia [email protected] wrote: > > Hello: > Does anyone know if there is a Manitoba death index? > I need to get information on Hannah Fawcett ...

I agree. That's exactly what I did. I included a letter stating that my grandfather was deceased, my father was deceased and therefore I was "next of kin". It worked for me.

Hi Barbara....I have found Manitoba to be a difficult province to get information from. However, it is not totally impossible. I would write back to them and include the cheque and application and explain to them that you are the next of kin. Since no other closer relative is living, you are next of kin.

In putting together a biography of my grandmother, I recently sent for the death certificate of her brother who died in 1894. My check and application was returned because this information can only be provided to the next of kin. This man died at age 28, was unmarried so there are no offspring . All his siblings are long deceased and only great nieces and nephews remain. I am a great niece. Any advice out there as to how to convince the

Dear Group I am hoping someone on list can help get me going in the right direction with my Manitoba research. I am experienced in Ontario but need Manitoba help. I had an aunt and uncle, Elva and Richard Murray move to Lyall after 1906. They had one daughter, Anna, born in Manitoba, that married George Fraser. Where can I find cemetery records, for a start, for Lyall? Which genealogy groups looks after that area? Helen in Ontario

Could some one give me the district and subdistrict and of the towns Glencairn, Glenella, and Plumas. This information is for researching the 1901 census Thanks Don Leetch [email protected]

Hello Group I would be interested in learning more about a Joseph Lionel Ridout of the Solsgirth district. I understand that he was an early member of the NWMP, and from recent information (1881 census) that he was born in the USA. We bought the farm that he homesteaded and have become very interested in the early history. Its located at NW 12-18-26 W1 Thank you in advance Brian Shaw [email protected]

Hello, My name is Michelle Cook nee Chammen and I am researching the surname Chammen. I know that my Grandfather's cousin William Henry Chammen emigrated to Canada from New Zealand. I do not know when, but it would have been after the 2nd World War. All I know about him is he passed away in April,2000 in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, as I have found his obituary on the internet. He married Phyllis,maiden name unknown. Any information regarding this couple would be appreciated. regards Michelle Cook nee Chammen Christchurch New Zealand _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
