Atlantic Canada

The main (relevant) Atlantic Canada resource pages are here:

• Nova Scotia Resources
• New Brunswick Resources
• Newfoundland Resources

But in particular see:

• The Nova Scotia Archives, Births, Marriages, and Deaths have transcribed vital records and their images (these are sometimes more complete than those found in FamilySearch)
• The broader Nova Scotia Archives has transcribed land grants, maps, early censuses and other documents, that can be invaluable.
• The Provincial Archives of New Brunswick website has a number of fantastic databases (especially the "Vital Statistics from Government Records", but also "Newspaper Vital Statistics (Daniel Johnson)")
• Newfoundland's Grand Banks Site a collection of transcribed censuses, vital records, newspaper articles, directories, historical and biographical accounts, journals, family histories and more. Note that Newfoundland didn't join Canada until 1949, so this is one of the only places to get census information from 1921, 1935, and 1945.
• NL Genweb similar to Newfoundland's Grand Banks Site, with many of the same records and transcriptions, but not completely identical.

• Ireland Census Substitutes What census records are available, with where to find them
• WikiTree Ireland Project Check for resources and stickers

• Tip: The census records are a good start, and you should be able to find images of all the birth records for each child on irishgenealogy. They have exact birth date, places, fathers Occupation, and mother’s maiden names. Once you get that, you can search for the marriage of the parents, and that gives their fathers names. The civil records are great, but only go back to 1864 for births, a bit earlier for marriages.
