Thanks Pat. I'm still hoping to learn more about the kinds of birth and possibly immigration information one can obtain from Ontario death registration records for 1877. Best wishes, Frances my original letter-------------------- Date: Sun, 18 Sep 2005 22:27:06 -0700 From: Frances Bishop <bishad@direct.ca> To: CAN-ONTARIO-IRISH-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Finding birth place from ON death registration Has anyone had any luck finding an actual place of origin/birth place in County Armagh by viewing 1877 death registrations for Simcoe County or any other part of Ontario? Death registration seems the most sensible place to start. Family lore simply states "County Armagh". This covers lots of places. Any suggestions welcome. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
