Hello i haven't heard anymore of the following posted messages i have placed in this mailing list which were about my great great grandfather Edward, and about which Icq list i would like people to sign up at and a few more messages

Hello list: Is there SKS who is going to the library in the next week or so and could get a marriage registration for me? The details are as follows: Groom Name: Clark Melville Smith Bride Name: Alma Lafond Event Date: 1925 9 28 (yr/mo/day) Event Place: Comox Reg # 1925-09-293213 B.C.

This is the marriage of a friends grandparents and the family history says that Melville Smith was a foundling left on the orphange steps in Vancouver, so it will be interesting to see what info is on the marriage registration.

Hello All I've recently found out that there was a "Dill's Super Service Station" in Nelson BC. Established in 1927, and located on Victoria St. Is there a directory that someone could look in for me to get me any info at all on this Company? Thank you Pat Gunson Ontario

Hi everyone, Just a gentle reminder- we are a list for discussion of genealogy in British Columbia. Please try not to wander too far afield. :-) Thanks, Pam -- Pam Fairweather Thomson in BC, Canada Researching Fairweather & Todrick mailto:pamthom@intergate.ca

Pat: (and others who had business-owning ancestors in BC) If you found this information by a search of the BC City Directories, then there isn't more you can find there, unless by searching numerous directories over a period of years, under the name of the business, and also checking for all the people named Dill in the same city. You might be able to trace the business over several years or decades that way, to get a rough history of its existence. There is another source of information on companies, and that is the Dissolved Companies database and microfilmed records at BC Archives. Just leave a request for a lookup in the electronic form on the INQUIRIES page at BC Archives' website. http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/services/inquiry/accescom.htm Be sure to say you are researching family, as there is a charge for companies doing a legal search, but not for us researchers. A few problems that could arise: If there is a file on Dill's Super Service, (not all companies were incorporated and registered) the file is probably too big and too full of repetitive information to bother paying for the whole thing to be photocopied. However, if they find a file, the staff MAY be willing to pick out a couple of pages of information for you, such as the names of the original shareholders, plus some annual reports, say from the beginning, the middle and the end of the period of the company's existence. When they look at the actual file, they will be able to tell you how many years the company existed. Another problem is that the company file may exist only in original paper form, (phoof!- quite dusty these can be!) and it takes a bit of trouble getting the file brought in from off-site storage. Some files are on microfilm, available right in the reference room, and some are still not microfilmed. You won't know which is the case, until the staff look it up. And parts of the looking up process for these particular files can be a bit of a chore! So much so, that some of the staff leave that job to others with more experience. If this appears to be a task that will take over half an hour, the staff will be unable to undertake it for you. But they could at least look up the Dill Super Service to see if it's listed in their Companies computer database, and give you the reference numbers. This would certainly fall into their half hour time limit. Then it would be up to you to find someone to access the file for you, and choose pages to photocopy. (40 or 50 cents a page plus taxes, dozens of pages in most files) Though there is not a lot of personal information in these files, it can be interesting in a family business, because both money and physical assets are listed, details of purchases/sales of assets, changes in the ownership/shareholders, and their addresses. Also, it's another way you may find out what the signature of your ancestor(s) looked like.

Hi Corinne, The movie you mention - in British Columbia ? or is it the following ? The following story appears to be about families migrating in the U.S.A. Perhaps there was a book written about the family ? a search at a Public Library - may have the information. The family settled somewhere in Oregon. Perhaps posting to a mail list for Oregon - may bring some results. There is a general list for Oregon - as well as various counties. http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/usa/OR/ <snip> SYNOPSIS The true story, set in 1843, of the seven brave Sager children, whose parents died while the family was en route from Missouri to the more temperate climes of Oregon. Following early pioneers on a migration to the west was no easy task for the Sagers, but through struggle and determination they do prevail. <snip> Cheers, Stella.

Hello Rooters I'm interested in finding out about the story on the following information and names,the following names are of the sager children and their parents Henry Sager and Naomi carney John Catherine Carney Francis Elizabeth Marie Hannah Louise Matilda Jane Henrietta Naomi I think at first Henrietta's name was Anna then had it changed Henrietta Naomi, at least that's what her name was in the movie 7 alone.

Hello listers. Am posting on this list as i do not know where my Marie Landry moved to. So forgive me if you think i am wrong!! But my Marie was born here. A big Question. Would there be birth records in 1818 some where in BC? Beginning to believe only way i will get any info on my Catherine Landry McDougall Tremblay. Catherine was born in 1818, had Cree Mother Marie Landry and Scot Father Duncan McDougall. Catherine married Raphael Tremblay and they lived at Lac La Biche, AB. till death. Both lived up into their 90's age wise. Any and all info needed. Thank you. Viola.
