He later moved to British Columbia and that is where his death records are stored. I was hoping that his birth certificate would tell me where exactly he was born in Alberta. I know that there is a 100/120 year wait for birth certificate information in Canada. In British Columbia you can request a birth certificate sooner than 100 years, as long as the person concerned died more than 20 years ago. I was wondering whether this applied to Alberta - whether I would be able to request my relatives birth details becuase he died more than 20 years ago?
