It is pretty difficult as there are a lot fewer digitised sources for Newfoundland pre-1945 vs the rest of Canada.I have found a few records through familysearch.org, but the Newfoundland records are not indexed, so you need to know the location and year for the record you are searching for. I also found a few just by luck, some even that I wasn't looking for.
