Were you at the Abbotsford Family History Day last Saturday?
If not, you missed a great time. Although not quite as crowded as some years, this was the first big in-person event around here for a long time! We had lots of time to hear the talks, discuss topics, meet new people, buy books (yes, I did) and catch up with local genealogy groups and buddies 'live'. Congratulations to the Abbotsford Family History Centre for this very successful event!
VANCOUVER BC Canada – Genealogy Approved Websites and Resources – A Baker’s Dozen
I haven’t joined any of this year’s genealogy challenges so far, as it seems my extra time has been quite short. But since the weather’s not the best – yet – I thought sharing some Vancouver genealogy website resources (all free) would be in order.
I often like to do odd # quick challenges
– so this personal challenge will be – a baker’s dozen! And one or two might be
quirky. All are for topics I am often asked for.
These are in no particular order. And I may go back and forth with topics too. But these will all end up on my 'favourites list' for Vancouver genealogy which I'm updating.
1. Vancouver Street Directories – 1860-1955 – found online in the Vancouver Public Library’s collection of digitized British Columbia city directories. Have a look at the instructions. A bonus there is a free-to-read digital copy of Elizabeth Walker’s book, Street Names of Vancouver (Vancouver Historical Society, 2000).
