Stevenson of Dufferin County
« on: Sunday 02 February 14 10:44 GMT (UK) »
Am related from Ireland to a Hans Stevenson, born 1826 Parkgate , Ireland. He lived in Perth in 1861.  My g.gr. father Samuel, his brother, came to Australia, in 1864.
Have obtained quite a few records, Canadian records are good :)
Would like to know if anyone is chasing Stevensons or how do I obtain records past mid 1960's ???
Grateful !!

Each province deals with its own vital records. Recent Canadian records such as births, deaths and marriages will not be available online (access dates vary depending on the province) and the latest available census is the recently released 1921.
If you have names of relatives you could try a search engine like Google Canada and work with a combination of names, places, etc. to see if anything comes up- many Canadian obituaries are online and usally provide quite a bit of detail.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
