I have the uk subscription
but need to find out about sisters in canada
Marriages,children,deaths etc
I dont want to pay for a full year for the worldwide one, so rang them and they suggested I buy £6.75 worth of credits which I believe gives me 14 images
What I'm worried about is say I choose the
wrong person ,the image its a wasted credit, is there a easy way to do this thanks.

It might be worth putting specific look up requests on here first - someone may find them for you!
Enjoyed your "Clean house" bit. Only too true in this house!

thanks very much but I have already had a lot of help on here ,somebody kindly found the marriage of one of the girls I dont like to keep asking.
-
No - don't hesitate. That is the whole point! I sometimes worry that people do not realise how much they can do free (ie familysearch) without asking for look ups but this is different and using the expert knowledge and resources of local experts is how this system works.

If you really think there might be enough info on there that would be useful, you could buy one month's unlimited worldwide subscription for £24.95 pounds. Then you can look at every image you want without worrying. Remember to cancel it asap. If your queries are after about 1930 I don't think it will be much help as I believe there are restrictions on access to Canadian BMD info.
Otherwise do what everyone else has suggested and post your queries on Rootschat. It's what we're here for! ;D ;D
Kind regards

thank you very much for your replies
The time would be after 1911 as I know one married in 1909 and have her on the 1911 census with her husband and baby
Would love to know if she had more children if they married and when the parents died
Also would love to find the marriage of her sister if any ??? and what happened to her
Do you think its possible if I take out a subscription

Keep in mind that each Province had it's own system of keeping vital records and for some Provinces there will not be much available on Ancestry or online.
-
thanks for that I do have a lot to learn !!!
I am thinking of taking out a months sub for the extras

Why not try first on the Emigrants to Canada board. Ive been reading up the stuff they find and its amazing, and if they dont find anything or know where to look they will tell you - free of charge! They are real helpful by the look of it and just waiting to be asked. Wish I could help but Im new to this too.

hi and thanks , I did do and thats where somebody found the marriage and the census records for one of the girls for me , which of course has made me hungry for more info .
I am off to bed now but may just do that tomorrow thanks again and goodnight.

I know that you are looking in Quebec...so you will be best off asking some nice people in Que. for lookups...as there are no certs to be found, only parish records... Should you find someone in Ontario...you would have a super time with ancestry as there are tons of records available...
I think it is really too bad that both are equally two of the first Provinces and yet one has so much more available... but then who decided that they didn't need to register births until late in the last century? *sigh* don't ask me...
You have the census information for positioning them and also the parish in which they wed, and one child born....so you may have luck with a kind person on this site...
http://www.rootsweb.com/~canqc/lookups/lookupsa-c.html
be sure to look carefully find the right person to consult and also to thank them for their time as they are really busy...I would also let them know that these are home children as they may have people who specialize in that area of searching...
Unfortunately we haven't one helper from Quebec ( a few who live there, but none who do lookups)
all the best! ;D
