I'm trying to track down Canadian records (for my partner), whose family is Native and White.

His family has a long history in both Canada and the US (due to living and working near the border).

I'm hoping to verify facts to see if there is any Canadian citizenship in his family at any point.

Here is the earliest ancestor I have found online info about, Ma Na Cla/Sarah Queothia, born about 1841...

Here is another ancestor, Frederick Williams, born 1860...

Here is another, Frederick Winman (Win) Williams, born 1886 (his military registration card details his North Vancouver, BC, employment at William Lyle Shipyards in 1918 ... hoping to verify how many years he lived and worked in BC)...

Any help directing me to Canadian records, to verify Canadian facts, is so appreciated.

I keep hesitating to send an email to the German government, asking for certified copies of my ancestor's documents because I have no idea what I'll be charged.

For instance, years ago, I was charged about 50 euros then was told there were no documents (but I was billed that and paid it).

More recently, I was charged about 50 euros and was given 3 different digital copies (not certified copies), when I only asked for pricing (so I could first assess if it would be affordable). I paid that, too.

My ideal situation is to ask for certified copies of 6 birth records, 3 marriage records, 1 divorce record. All related family members, half of the documents already found.

What did the German govt. charge you in your situation?

Thank you!
