Welcome to the Surrey Public Library's online guide to its extensive collection of Canadian genealogical materials. This site is a great place to help you start, expand, or refine your genealogy search.
Announcements
The most recent death and marriage releases will no longer be available through the library. New BC Vital statistics on microfilm have always arrived at Cloverdale annually, However, we will no longer be able to purchase these films. The latest note on the BC Archives website states:
"Marriage registrations 1872-1933; index 1872-1934
The index entries for the 1934 marriage registrations have been added to the marriages index. There will be no general release of the 1934 marriage registrations. Copies of individual marriage registrations for 1934 must be ordered directly from the BC Vital Statistics Agency.
Death registrations 1872-1988; index: 1872-1989
The index entries for the 1989 death registrations have been added to the deaths index. There will be no general release of the 1989 death registrations. Copies of individual death registrations for 1989 must be ordered directly from the BC Vital Statistics Agency."
