I am very new to the list, and having just read David Fancy's posting on the BC Archives, I decide to give it a try. I found a cousin, Luigi DelTedesco, died 5/24/1953, there is a reg number; 1953-09-005594 BC Archives microfilm number; B13216 GSU Microfilm number; 2032875 He died in Powell River, which I am going to assume is a town...Now how do I go about finding out if there is more information in the Archives, or on Microfilm? I am in Italy, so any help would be greatly appreciated, and if I can help anyone out on this end...please let me know, thanks, Riccarda Mescola

Hi Riccarda, If no one else has offered - I can take a look at the death registration for you. and either send you a photo copy - or e mail the information found - to you. Unfortunately I cannot help with an obituary ( I will search the Vancouver Papers - but the obit may not have been published in Vancouver papers). There are Volunteers at the following site - who take cemetery photo's. They also do Public Record lookups - but since I will be doing a few lookups - I will do those for you. http://www.raogk.org/bcolumbia.htm Prince George Public Library may be able to help with an obit. http://www.lib.pg.bc.ca/ With Information found on the Death Registration - we may be able to find further information for you.
