BOOK - Vital Records In Ontario Before 1869, A Guide to Early Ontario Vital Records.
By Fawne Stratford-Devai & Ruth Burkholder
Published by Global Heritage Press, Milton

Of particular value is a listing of resources that are available on microfilm including the microfilm numbers for the resources, and identification of which records have been transcribed into book or database form.
