Introduction
This page provides a list of links to the Wikitree profiles for those individuals mentioned in the local history book Wild Roses at Their Feet: Pioneer Women of Vancouver Island, which was authored by Elizabeth Lamont Forbes and published in 1971.
At the time that this page was created, no known digital version of Wild Roses exists online. The Victoria Genealogical Society has transcribed an alphabetical surname index which can be viewed on their website. The book itself does not contain a surname index.
