Hello List. I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks and have finally come out of hiding to ask a few questions. I have many BC questions, but I'll try to tackle them little by little. Please bear with this California girl! :-) My g-grandparents were from Ontario but are found in BC in the 1901 census along with my grandmother. They moved to Frank, Alberta just in time for the mountain to come down and sometime afterwards their marriage broke up, with my g-grandfather remaining in Alberta and my g-grandmother dropping my grandmother off in a convent and moving back to BC to work. Based on the convent records between 1904 and 1907, my g-grandmother was living in Nelson and Eholt, BC. My grandmother joined her about 1907 and they remained in BC, location unknown, until they entered the USA in the mid-teens. I'm working on a family history on them for a reunion this summer and would very much like to find records of their time in these two towns. I understand that Nelson has a museum with good newspaper information. . .but do they allow these for interlibrary loan? If not, are copies of these newspapers available elsewhere? What other records are there for this period? City directories perhaps? Regarding Eholt, I realize this was a boom town and is no longer in existence. Was there a newspaper during this period? Are there other records to be traced? If anyone can point me toward records that might help in my search, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks kindly, Shelly in California
