Recently someone said they would do "look ups" from a book listing early photographers. I lost the message so am requesting that the person who volunteered to do this type of search will check the following for me, please. BEST HO. (at least I think it is Ho., could be Ho's, or any other initial) No. 1 McWilliam Street, West Winnipeg, Manitoba Thank you!

I would love to know when WEEKES STUDIO 115 - 10th Street in Brandon was in business. Are they included in the book? Annette in BC

It sure does. For anyone else interested, this book covers the years 1860-1925 and includes photographers in Alberta, B.C., Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Yukon Territory. It was compiled from municipal and business directories. If anyone else wants a lookup, just post. I also have the Ontario Photographers Lists books, but they are at work right now. A.B.

You might also try a group called Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness, which is a group of volunteers from around the world that could research such information.

The first one is you order it directly from the Archives, and it costs I think about 50 buckaroos (or maybe it's only 20 - did I say only?), at any rate too much. The second route is to put your request on the BC List. Several times a year I do free lookups at Cloverdale library for people who are too distant from a genealogical library in BC. There are other listers in BC who do the same. The listers will get it either for Free, or only charge you the 50 cents for the copying fee at the library and the postage. I don't think you can beat that. The important thing to remember is that you order a REGISTRATION...NOT A "CERTIFICATE". A certificate can only be purchased from the Archives and is just verification of the bmd, with not a lot of info. The registration is the long form giving a lot of information usually, dependent upon the knowledge of the informant (ie spouse, parent, brother etc.) So yes, we have to pay everywhere in Canada, but there is no point in paying more than you absolutely have to. Personally, I was pleased when the Manitoba Index became available, even with it's restrictions. It would be very nice if the same thing were available in all the other provinces....let's just hope that 1911 census gets released - right??!!

When you ordered the death certificate did you ask for anything special. Do you have to pay the whole $25 or did you order before they put it online.

Hello Listers I'm trying to find someone with a connection to the Josef Niznik family. There are many variations in spelling of the surname; some are Nisnick, Nyznyk, Niznick, Nisneck, Nezneck, Nesnik. There were families by these names in Manitoba between 1912 and 1930 (source: Manitoba Vital Statistics web site). Josef was my great-grandfather; his wife was Margaretha BESLER. Their known children were Rosalia (b 1883), Ludovica (b 1884) and Eleonora (b 1887), all believed to have been born in Czernovitz, Bukovina, Austria-Hungary. Josef and his family emigrated to Canada and settled in Saskatchewan about 1904. Josef died at Regina in 1910. Margaretha died at Southey in 1908. Eleonora Niznik was my grandmother. She married Rudolph VOLLHOFFER at Balgonie, SK, in 1905 and died at Medicine Hat, AB, in 1931. May there be someone on the list with a connection to this family. Cheers! Eleanore Dempster Mission, BC

Hi Maer - I have the Mb website in my Favorite's list - the address is very long and awkward to use - I just type in Vital Statistics Province of Manitoba and it comes up fine. There are quite a few ways you can manipulate what is there. Births for 1904 will come on line later this year. When I find the ones I am certain are mine I run off the form from their website and fill it in. I have always been able to be truthful in indicating they are deceased and I know no living relatives to get info from - and I have never been questioned. Make sure to put the registration number quoted on the form - there is no place specific for it - it starts out with the full year first, i.e. 1895, then a comma and the rest of the number. This way you get a photocopy of the registration for $12.00 - mine have always been very clear and marriages indicate names of parents of both people, birthplaces etc. It is a good information piece and has usually taken about two weeks to get back to me. There is one form which costs $25.00 but I have always felt I did not need that one. Good luck.

I'm curious to know what it DOES give, and what year that is. Do different years give different bits of information? I have found a man whom I think is my grgrgrandfather's sister's husband, in the Manitoba deaths. If all I'm going to get is the name Angus McCallum, his age, and his date of death (which is what is shown on the "detail" view), it's hardly worth it. I HAVE taken a chance and ordered marriage information. Hopefully it will prove to me that this is grgrgranduncle John McLean. It would be even better if it gave his mother's maiden name - non of the other records found have it. With all the talk about Saskatchewan, I got confused (I'm new). DOES Manitoba have a place where the public can go to look at microfilm and take their own photocopies? I live in Ontario, where we are very lucky to have those kinds of archives. My main Manitoba lines are MCLEAN, SHEWFELT (who married a McLean) and MCCALLUM (who married a McLean). I am always willing to look up people for others if I am nearby or going to a specific place (given time availability - my things need to be done first).

I have a Death Registration for my G grandfather who died in Manitoba 1915 and it has name, age, where born, Father's name, where born, Mother's name, where born, cause of death, name of informant and relationship. On my G grandmothers registration - 1946 - the cause of death is blacked out, but the rest was the same. Unfortunately the son who was the informant didn't know her mother's name. I am pretty sure of what it was but I would have liked proof.

When you get a MB death certifacate it doesn't give the parents names or any wife or husband. Is there someway to get this info. Coralynn

I have a marriage certificate for a George Edwin BATEMAN & a Louis Agnes BIRSS. Her father was Alexander Birss and her mother Cynthis McDonald. His father was John Robert Bateman and mother Rachel Hannah Bailey. It's not mine . If anyone needs it let me know Coralynn

Good morning from B.C. I have received 2 death certificates from Manitoba. They are called Official Registration of Death. When I applied I had to prove that I was the next living generation or have that generation apply. The information on the registration is incredible. It gave the parents names. Wifes maiden name..Where they were born. How long they had been in the muicipality..and the province and the country. I felt that my 25 dollars for each certificate was money well spent.

I think there are over 100 Lougheed's. I have always collected all of the name but this is to many. So I picked the ones I think might be mine: Rebecca Ellenor Lougheed 1918 - 12-28 1918-09-248287 B13115 # 1927143 Israel LOUGHEED, Richmond, 1921-10-5- age 79 1921-09-288711 B 13119 GSU # 1927296 I believe these are husband and wife. Aaron E. Lougheed, Kamloops, 65, 1935 - 2-1914 1935 - 09-497718 B13152 GSU 1953019 I belive this to be a brother to Israel. Isaac Lougheed , Nelson, 77, 1933 - 09- 476653 B 13146 GSU 1952657 He may be another brother as this family all had Bible names. Only if you get your own done first.

Thank you to whoever said the Detailed View for Births gives the mothers name. I have just discovered that all but about 1/2 doz. of the Bateman,s belong to my family. I only have 5 names for 1 family and found they had 3 other children. I haven't done any genealogy for a few months but have had a great day today Coralynn in Sunny Alberta

Hello Delores I too have had to deal with Saskatchewan for Vital Stats, and I lost my $25 for just that reason. I paid it again, because I wanted my great great grandmother's death certificate (She actually died in the NWT before Moosomin became part of Sask). What really made me mad was they do not let you see the cause of death, they blacked it out! I'm glad that she was the only family member I have to worry about in Saskatchewan, and won't have to worry about dealing with them anymore (at least so far).

I wouldn't have been so upset if they would have let me know that when they don't find the information in that year, that they still keep your money. Cost me $50 for my great great grandmothers death certificate. I too am not happy that they black out the cause of death. What would it matter at this late date what the individual died from? Some of which a few of us may have been told anyway. I do like that they list the parents names of the deceased, along with the mother's maiden name. That has been the most helpful part of my research. What irks me is the amount, especially when they are given the exact date and year. I can order information from North Dakota and only pay $8 including exchange for a number of sheets. Also get information from the Library of Congress 'FREE'. Delores

I will start looking for the ones I want. Thank you.

Greetings from Saskatoon, I have been reading the various postings regarding the provincial Vital Statistics Departments. I have ordered and received documents from Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. While I don't appreciate the costs, if in my research I think it is worth while, then I will order copies. This also includes ordering from provincial archives. These can vary from easy to accept, to very expensive. Each person must make their own decision on whether to pay, or leave the information behind. But I offer one suggestion, before denouncing the provincial agency, do some background investigation, as to why the costs are expensive. Wages are the main reason. When a staff member pulls the certificate from the files, after doing a search, then makes a copy, how much time has been taken up? Multiply those numbers by the many requests that come in, and likely the totals would amaze people. Manitoba Vital Statistics offer $12.00, if you do the look up and provide the document number, but if they do the search the cost increases to $25.00! While some provinces offer online resources, this is good and helps genealogical research, but why demean those other locations that don't have these services? Ross Doherty, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
