Here it is. Hi Stella, Today I was able to visit the Provincial Archives and also checked on those Vital Registers in the KRAKOW area. But sorry to say no results. That Chipman Register of BMD started in 1909. It did have other places in this register, also a few Krakow. I then looked for other area Registers. There was a Krakow register, it started August 1910, and also had other nearby places listed. The Wostok register starts in August 1906. The Andrew register starts in 1920. The Mundare register starts in 1908. All these Registers had a lot of other nearby places in them. I did look at names on the first pages but didn't see anything that looked or sounded like CHMELYK. After a bit of searching, the person looking after the Book Store at the Archives found me the "Alberta: Index to Registration of Births, Marriages and Deaths Registrations prior 1900". So I purchased it for myself. Like it says, its pre 1900, except almost every page has 1 or 2 marriages on it that are from 1900 to 1906. And almost all places are the big places of Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer and Lethbridge, with a few smaller places mixed in. So thats my day away from the computer Peter Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
