Hi Joellen

I can do the look ups and give you a transcription of the registrations; however, it will probably be the end of March.  I've got a long list I'm working through and limited time to visit the FHS library since I've returned to work part-time!!

Thanks so much, Susan.  No hurry on these as I have been starring at them for a while. 

If you could clarify for me, does the local FHS library keep the BC tapes?  I only ask as several years back I was in Kamloops and did a look up at the local public library.  Presume results would be the same?

I belong to a local family history society and our FHS library purchases the vital events film yearly.  They are the same films that the BC Archives has and presumably various libraries around the province.

Thanks, I understand now.  If I recall the Kamloops library was a little slow in getting the annual updates as they were not available on my first visit, perhaps as they are a smaller center or due to budgeting.  My mother-in-law is in Kamloops so we get up a couple of times a year.

Appreciate your assistance.

Sandra,

Wow!  Thank you so much for following up on this old post.  A lot has happened in the interim, retirement, moving, Covid, etc. and I think a number of these relationship questions have fallen off my radar.  I will circle back and make sure they are complete.

I really appreciate the newspaper obit links and look forward to seeing what new gems of information they might provide.

I wish you all the best of the season and a safe and healthy New Year!

Thank you again!  :)

Hi Joellen,

Thank you for showing your appreciation.  It is great to be able to fill in some blanks you may have and come forward as far as we can.  Nice to see some photographs which puts the face to a name.

All the best for 2023
Happy New Year
Sandra  :) :)
