Civil registration of births in Nova Scotia began in 1864, but the records are incomplete for the initial period from 1864 to 1877. The province resumed consistent record-keeping in 1908, and the dataset includes delayed registrations dating back to 1830. Columns suggest detailed information about parents, the birth event, and the applicant, providing a view into historical family structures and demographics.
Licensed under the Open Government Licence - Canada (OGL-CA-2.0). The dataset's temporal coverage has significant gaps, with no registrations officially recorded between 1877 and 1908.
