I contacted someone before and misplaced the name. I have pictures, paintings, and lots of information I would like to donate from my 90 year old Father, born in Vancouver 1915. His parents had 2 boarding houses in Vancouver and took lots of pictures around Point Gray(?), Vancouver, North Vancouver and Westminster/Burnaby area. Does Vancouver have a Genealogy Society or could it be the Vancouver Library. appreciate your help. Star
Hi Star.. There is a genealogy group in the lowermainland that is called British Columbia Genealogy Society. You can get there address from the public library in vancouver or from Cyndi's list. They would be overjoyes to have the pictures. I know in our club.. we love when old pictures of Nanaimo are dropped off.

Thank you ALL for the great suggestions. I will contact the Vancouver City Archives to see if they want the painting of Malva? House by M. Cary McConnell and the city memorabilia. The Lacrosse Salmon Bellies memorabilia to Westminster and the books, maps, journals on Westminster Road (Kingsway) to the Vancouver Public Library. As I sort I will post any genealogy facts, if I can? Again I enjoyed the information from ALL, especially people I have talked to in the past. Star
