I didn't get specific about the provincial records - they can all be found easily using Google. Each province maintains records a bit differently in following a disclosure law that was passed awhile back. You may have to access Ontaria records on microfilm through a Family History Center... http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/english/archival-records/interloan/vsmain.aspx The PEI Baptism index: http://www.gov.pe.ca/archives/baptismal/ Hope that helps.
