I recently was trying to find out any information on my great-grandfather. The only thing I knew about him was that he was born in Canada. After trying everything I could online, I wrote a letter to a New Brunswick library, asking for any information they had. A week later, I got an emailed response! The email included a link to an online archive. When I visited the online archive, it contained my great grandparent's wedding certificate and numerous birth records of my ancestors. This was extremely helpful! The archive featured documents that weren't even available on Ancestry.com!
The website is: http://www.archives.gnb.ca/
I will say though, it isn't that helpful when it comes to death records, you have to contact them to have access, which is very frustrating. However, overall, it is a great site, which I would recommend to anyone who is having a hard time investigating their Canadian ancestry.
