Canada Lookup Requests Completed / Re:Sharing Useful Links

Thank you for the link. While there were loads of bits and pieces that looked like they may be useful, they seem to be pre-WWI. Is that normal for Canadian geneaology? They seem to be much tighter on timescales for releasing information than we are in the UK.

One thing I wondered - does Canada have a register of nurses, like the UK does?

It has just come to light that my grandmother emigrated to Canada, probably in 1949 or 1950. She gave my mother up for adoption in England, and did not turn up for the final hearing in October 1949. We know she was a State Registered nurse, very possibly QARANC (British army). We have no idea where she went after arriving in Canada.

I seem to be going round in circles, because there doesn't appear to be one nice central records office like there is in the UK, with all births, marriages and deaths. Or am I just looking in the wrong place?
