BC Wills on Familysearch
« on: Wednesday 27 June 12 23:16 BST (UK) »
I have discovered an entry in the index for Rosalia Edwards died in1967

I am looking through the wills but cannot make the numbers tally with the numbers in the index
Anyone help?

The name may be in the index but the actual record might not be included in the Wills online. I found a few in the index from the 1960s are not included with these records.
Barna and Kiss  - Urmenyhaza, Torontal, Hungary (now Jermenovci, Serbia)
Clark - Scarborough, Ontario, Canada and Beith, Ayrshire, Scotland
Crawford - Scarborough, Ontario, Canada and Dalry, Ayrshire, Scotland
Larway - Scarborough, Ontario, Canada and Somersetshire, England.
Kaufmann and Zengler - Zichydorf, Torontal, Hungary (now Plandiste, Serbia)

I could not even work out where to look as the numbers on the index page seemed the wrong length

The entry in the index says

Edwards Roselia (should be Rosalia) Vancouver Wills Vol 304 Fol 324 Remarks 135170

Now the numbers of the wills that you can look up have 5 digit reference numbers
so the  two do not tally
