Hello List, Pretty new to genealogy and loving every minute of it. Looking for guidence and a little help on my late husbands Earp line. A short time ago I was sent from a nice person from B.C photocopies of Registration of Death cert. John Francis Earp died 29 Jan 1963, at Qualicum B.C. buried Qualicum Cemetery, Qualicum Beach, B.C. Funeral Home: Westwood Funeral Home LTD, Nanaimo,B.C. Son of John: Charles Earp. I have not been able to locate any info on death from the family or other sources. I do remember visting my husband grandfather in the early 1980. He passed away sometime after that. Charles Earp wife: Eliza Jane Earp, nee Shea. On her death reg states her father Newby Shea born in Ireland, her mother Anabel Newry born in Ireland. Eliza jane was born 16 Oct 1905 in Ireland, married Charles Earp 23 Dec 1926 in Alberta. Where could I locate info about her coming to Canada. Eliza Jane died 15 Nov 1978 in the Nanaimo Regional Hosp, lived in Qualicum Beach, B.C. Cremation 20 Nov 1978, Isle Crematoriums Ltd, Cedar, B.C.Funeral Home: Mount Benson Funeral Home Ltd, Nanaimo, B.C. Is there any one that can help me with obits, pictures of headstones(if any) etc....or guidence on how I can locate info. John Francis came to Canada in 1904, he may of had two daughters born around Fernie after arriving in Canada. How do I go about finding info on these births? thank you in advance, Sandra

http://www.islandnet.com/cgi-bin/ms2/rsd/search is a searchable database (some are adamant that this database only has entries for those who have headstones - it was my experience that the records of my extended family's burial sites are both marked and unmarked and taken from the graveyard registry - other than those who were buried in private burial grounds) Gives the result: Name Cemetery Location Region Reference EARP, John F. (h/o Ada Jones) Qualicum Beach Community Qualicum Beach, Jones Road Vancouver Island MC-371 With surname "Earp" With surname "Jones" Given Name "Ada" gave four results. http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca:9000/sn-123637C/gbsearch BC Archives Genealogy Search for BMD (Birth Marriage Death) Deaths (1872-1981) which means that Charles Earp's death was likely after 1981 so keep on searching the database from time to time Happy Hunting Regards; Dennice researching: Brûlè, Poirier, McFadden, Stephens, Michelsen, French, Brooks, Brown, Goudie, Vautrin pioneer families of British Columbia and their 'country wives' http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~goudied/index.html Most Recent Family Tree database online (9,700+ individuals) http://www.gencircles.com/users/goudie_d/1 > Hello List, > Pretty new to genealogy and loving every minute of it.

Most entries for the BCCFA are contributed from published cemetery transcripts. Some transcripts include burial records from office records that do not have a stone on the grave. If the record is there it is included. To date though, most transcriptions do not have this information because the society publishing the transcript cannot procure this data. Hope that helps a little, Lynda
