death in Quebec -- record available?

Legg inn av singhals » 19 okt 2007 16:59:03

I have a US serviceman who died in a hospital in Quebec city
in Canada in Sept 1918 of the influenza.

1) would a death notice that named his parents have been
published?

2) would the official civil death record name his parents?

3) are copies of death records from that time period
available? How many $$? [The CanadaGenWeb page for le
Ville de Quebec has a link to the government site for
requesting death records, but I don't see a date-covered
indication there... in fact, it sort of looks like all roads
lead to the same page, even when I try to get to the request
form. :( ]

4) if he'd died a couple years after the epidemic would the
answers be different?

Give us his name and let us all help you. Give us what you do know
about the guy - his full name, any dates you know, city/state of
origin etc.

Thanks, Mary, but I'd sooner not post it on-line; he has
living siblings whom I do not know. (I know they exist, I
just don't know their names). That's why I asked the
question as I did.

The following link is for an application for a death certificate for Quebec.
At the bottom is an email address in order to contact the office of the
director and also the mailing address. It might be worth a try to ask and
see if they can send you in the right direction,

Well, its up to you, but if he had living sibs, they would be
extremely elderly and unlikely to have it disturb their privacy. In my
own family, we've had some similar situations, and the few surviving
relatives we found were thrilled to have someone take an interest in
events that happened so long ago and loved ones passed into memory so
many years ago. And in our case, a couple of the situations involved
family scandals (i.e. abandoned children, children born out of
marriage etc. ).

Also, if your man was unmarried, his army join up papers should list
next of kin (almost always parents if they are alive and the man is
single), where he was from etc.

Cheryl: Ancestry says it has the Quebec Vitals online? Not complete or
true?
If American serving in Canadian forces, records online as already noted.
