Hi Debbie, Stratchcona County - is in the Province of Alberta - Searching the Alberta GenWeb: http://www.rootsweb.com/~canab/ Local History Books http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Ecanab/lookstra.html http://www.rootsweb.com/~canab/lhb/lhbindex.html finds:A Brief History of Strathcona County.-and it does list the name Murdoch STEELE. http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Eabarchiv/strathcona/pubscabh.txt Unfortunately - there is no Volunteer Listed - and the book does not appear to have been digitalized by Our Roots or the Alberta Heritage Digitalization Project. The person who submitted the index - does not appear as a Volunteer. *You might want to post your query to the STRATHCONA MESSAGE BOARD - there is no fee - No subscription required. The person who Volunteered the Index - often responds to messages posted to that site - and others in Alberta: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.canada.alberta.strathcona If not: Hopefully someone on the Rootsweb Alberta Mail list - will be able to assist. Otherwise: There are Volunteers at the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness site- Alberta: Some also offer Cemetery Photo's etc http://www.raogk.org/alberta.htm I have not checked to see if they offer Lookups from these history books - but - some do visit the Provincial Archive in Edmonton - The Archive may be in possession of this book. British Columbia - for Lookup,Transcription or Copy of Public Records,birth,marriage death..Some offer Obituary Search - others Cemetery Photo's. http://www.raogk.org/bcolumbia.htm *there are times when a Funeral Home - can be of assistance. Wishing You Much Luck With Your Search.
