Does anyone have any details of canadian BMD. I need to find birth details for a relative born in Quebec in 1858.

Regards

Pam

If you know what parish they were born in, then you can find their record online at:
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start

This is the Quebec portion 1621-1900 of the Drouin collection. Parish records were the official BMD registery pre WW2.

There is an example of what you might get at:

If you don't know the parish, then maybe ask someone who has an Ancestry subscription as I think they're indexed there.
