  • Birth Registration of Erick Clifford Finch

    My Grandpa was born in Birtle, Manitoba. Manitoba’s birth registrations are not available online; rather you need to order a print copy of them from the Manitoba Vital Statistics Branch.

    His name is registered as Erick Clifford Finch although he went by Clifford or Cliff.

    The family had moved to the Prairies from Glanbrook, Ontario around 1910. Unfortunatelly, Grandpa’s mother Nancy Ellen Reed died a week after he was born. Soon after, the family returned to Ontario.
