Member Since: August 2003 Posts: 45 Send Message	I have traced a possible family member back to 1857 in Nova Scotia. I would like to get his brith certificate. The only way I know of finding out his parents names. Can anyone tell me how I can get the certificate and how much it costs. Thanks for any help Wendy

	Wendy Try novascotiagenealogy(.)com, this is the official BMD site for the area. Their birth records start at 1864 though, but I don't know if that's all they have or if they're still working on getting their information on line. Might be best if you contact them. Email copies are $9.95, paper copies are $19.95 (Canadian funds). Good luck! Brenda

	Hi Wendy, I know that the GRO in uk supplies overseas certs. Look under Research on the home page:- http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ Regards Ann
