BCGS was much more reasonable. >The information is: >STRAUBE, Valentine and KOLONOSKY, Mary, married 16th of February, 1897. >Reg.# - 1897-09-900201, not filmed, no GSU. >I appreciate your help in this matter. >Thanks, Judy >Blackfalds, Alberta >elista@telusplanet.net Hi Judy! Not wanting to contradict my buddy Claudia but when the vital event is in the Index but says 'Not Filmed', it just means that it was a late registration in a year that hasn't yet been released and you have to request a copy separately. There is a special form for this which I will send to you privately and it's free! As far as it not containing much info, that depends on who filed it and when<g>. I recently obtained one for a birth from 1896 that wasn't registered till 1932 and of course the newer, more informative form was used and gave me *much* more info. This can be done via email but I'll still send you the form so you know what info is necessary to send. The copy is then mailed to you at no charge. 8-) Sliante Joan Joan McIlmoyl Cleghorn, U.E.
