I have been searching for four baptismal records from Prince Edward Island. Without civil records, baptismal records are the only way to establish birth, and links to parents.
I have no records for Elizabeth (abt 1846-1901) and George (abt 1864-1940).
I have two records for Stephen (abt 1861-1936); however I am not sure if either is correct.
That is three. My fourth record is for a girl listed in the 1861 Canadian Census. The 1861 Canadian Census isn't nominal; however it does list the ages of people in the household. According to the census there should be a girl, aged 16-21. Assuming this girl isn't a servant, and based on her age and where her immediate siblings were baptized, I should find her record at St. John the Baptist.
So to figure all this out, I ordered microfilm from my local Family History Center. I ordered two different films. One from St. John Baptist and one from St. Simon and St. Jude.
