I have begun the long process of doing a "one-name study" on the name CANN in Ontario public record, beginning 1869. I have recorded all the B-M-D's in public record INDEX, and have begun the process to identify the FILM NUMBERS for each record. Then I can look up the actual REGISTRATIONS. Our local Family History Centre in Edmonton Alberta has almost all the early films, since most western settlers came through Ontario.
I am working on marriages first and have transcribed marriages from 1869 up to 1885 to date.
I am willing to share with anyone who will identify to me their own family line so that I can place these in the correct lines. I can send you film number, registration number and basic information that was included in registration.
