Stuck-Ancestry for Canadian by Decent, can’t figure out birth records
Total newbie here trying to figure out Ancestry (using Ancestry.com). I’ve identified a 2nd great grandmother born in Canada, then moved to Michigan. I’ve found plenty of USA census, marriage and death information from Michigan records, all listing her birth as Canada and her mother as Canadian. I think I know her birth date but that seems slightly inconsistent. (I’m wondering if she lied about age at first marriage). I can’t figure out how to find some birth records, I believe from Ontario. Velmay (Velma) Russell, born in either 1861 or 1863 to Mary Smith. Any suggestions, or recommendations on hiring a genealogist? Thank you!
