    1. [CAN-BC] Re: BC Archives lookup please
    2. Taryn - First of all, I must congratulate you for working on your family history at such a young age. Had I done what you are doing, I'd know so much more now than I do. Kudos to you! Although I cannot help with the lookup that you request, I would like to recommend another mailing list that might help you further your research when you are ready to do so. The Lancashire list at rootsweb is terrific! Someone will certainly be able to check the 1881 census for your William and Catherine Jones, and perhaps other records that might be available as well. I'm going to include the sign up address for that list, but I would caution that with your busy schedule, you may want to sign up on the digest mode rather than the individual email mode. This is a very helpful and very busy list. For individual mails: LANCSGEN-L-request@rootsweb.com For digest mail: LANCSGEN-D-request@rootsweb.com There are also a couple of lists dedicated specifically to Liverpool that you can access at this site: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/ENG/ Happy Searching!
