Julia Yes, Im sure any record is good to have, I just wasn't too sure. Here we usually want birth registrations, marriage registrations because it shows all the info when applying as well. I do not know when my ancestors came to canada and where from as of yet. I am ever so slowly moving back that way. My father did not know his father, and he never knew the names of any of his grandparents, so its made it a bit more difficult, not to mention that he was in an orphanage in Montreal when he was a small boy for a little while. I have no idea which one and am trying to work on that. Thanks for the help and suggestions. I e-mailed Myriam already and she is the one who gave me dates and confirmed they were there. She could not find my grandfather. So, of course, I'll keep plugging away at it. Thanks, Karen
