Sources

Birth and Baptism Records

• Royal British Columbia Museum: BC Archives Genealogy Search, Births, 1854-1903, Index and images
  • Research tips: Utilize the wildcard search function for optimal results. If you locate a record at the BC Archives but no image is attached, there is still a good chance you can find it at FamilySearch.
• FamilySearch: British Columbia Birth Registrations, 1854-1903, Index and images
  • Research tips: FamilySearch's index is often missing the last name of the child. If you cannot locate the expected record, try searching with only the first name plus the father's surname. (Attempt the search again if a warning or error message is triggered).
• Royal British Columbia Museum: BC Archives Genealogy Search, Baptisms, 1836-1888, Index
