BC Archives: The Place to Go for Family History

bc-archives

Further to a recent post on our Facebook page about researching in the BC Archives, there is so much more than registrations of births, marriages and deaths, available for genealogy research.   These birth, marriage and death registration forms have been placed on the Internet in two places — on the BC Archives website and on the FamilySearch website.

But there is so much more to researching your ancestors than birth, marriage and death records.   If possible, you want to follow the family through land records, Wills and any other documents that may be available.  A recent article, BC Archives The Place to Go for Family History, by Dave Obee, Editor-in-Chief of the Times Colonist  provides much more information on the many other records that are available for genealogy research at the Royal BC Museum & Archives and also a fascinating insight into his own family history research.

Happy researching!
