Why do some vital event index listings have records without microfilm numbers?
Registration records listed in the indexes that do not include microfilm numbers are late registrations that have yet to be microfilmed. In addition, there are a small number of marriage registrations listed in the index with microfilm numbers that are not currently available to the public on microfilm. These are also late registrations, which will be released at some point in the future. Should you encounter these situations, please contact British Columbia Vital Statistics Agency at HLTH.VSGene@gems3.gov.bc.ca for further information.
