PRINCE EDWARD ISLANDPrince Edward Island began recording births in 1840, marriage registrations began in 1886 but it was not until 1906 that it was mandatory for all births and deaths to be recorded by the government. The province began to register stillbirths in 1920 when they officially joined the federal system of reporting vital statistics. The year 1930 saw the beginning of adoption registration in the province while the registration of divorces would not occur until 1946. To request birth, marriage or death certificates, genealogists must contact the Vital Statistics Division: Division of Vital Statistics Department of Health & Social Services 35 Douses Road, Box 3000, MONTAGUE, Prince Edward Island C0A 1R0 Telephone: (902) 838-0884 Toll Free: (877) 320-1253 Fax: (902) 838-0883 Website: http://www.gov.pe.ca/vitalstatistics/ It is important to note there are no government death records before 1906.
