i just heard from vancouver library and they do not loan out their civil registration reels. i can request a copy  @ $10/page if i have the film and other numbers. i would have like to browse the various reels to see if i could find a link between the Defoe (DeFeo) living in Revelstoke. I am sure they are all connected. oh well..there are always bumps in the road.

I did notice that in the list of the ones you looked up for me....there were a couple that did not show in the index search. but all that you sent was most helpful. thanks again.

hi
i have been in contact with the vancouver library and am in process of getting ready to order the reels. many thanks for all your suggestions.

need lookup:
I am now on the search for when Antonio DeFeo emigrated.
I found 3 during 1855-1900 to NY where their last residence is S Stefano.

I was wondering if anyone could find out more info on ancestry. i am not member of ancestry so cannot.

manifest #83216

Antonio Defeo age 25 last residence S Stefano del Sole destination: New Rochelle NY manifest #82945

Antonio Defoe age 48 last residence S Stefano del Sole destination: NY
manifest #82945

also found Vito Colacurcio age 17 last residence S Stefano destination: NY manifest #83452

any help would be greatly appreciated.

i live just south of penticton which has a FHL but for me to travel back and forth there is difficult. and it is a very small office and wonder if they would even stock that reel. that is why i thought i could borrow it and view at our local library.

i found this on the BC Archives site:
Does the BC Archives lend material through interlibrary loan?
The BC Archives' library and archival collections are non-circulating and therefore unavailable through interlibrary loan. However, if you can provide an exact reference to a book or an archival record held by the BC Archives, we may be able to provide photocopies at the usual cost.

do you know of other institutions which may have these reels also?
there must be a way to get a hold of this info, i just cannot find the link.
can you help?

thank you again so very much. the individuals information you provided were so informative. most clicked with my other info from Census and immigration.
did you have the actual reel for BC Archives to view or did you find this info on the internet?

i shall have to look into the bc archives and see how i can get the reel in I need. shall be lots of fun. i see that some of the Defoes moved away from Revelstoke, to Victoria,Vancouver etc and whether they are related is another thing.

the info you sent me gave me some idea of who is connected to whom.

thanks again so much.

when you offered to lookup i just figured you would sign on to the archives site. but i can see that you have so much more info so you must have another source.  i should have not assumed and questioned before you did all that work.

too bad i didn't know that, because i too have gone thru all the b/m/d on the archives site and have identified for sure who i know that is of the line i am tracing. those are the ones i would have wanted.

i will check your list again and hopefully they are all there.

many many thanks for your help and i am happy for what you did include.
