What Do I Do Next?

I Found Who I Was Looking For, What Now?

• Use the age found on the record to calculate the year of birth and search for the birth record in the British Columbia Birth Registrations (FamilySearch Historical Records) collection or the Canada Births and Baptisms (FamilySearch Historical Records) collection.
• Use the information to find other records such as christening, census, and land records.
• Use the information to find additional family members.
• Repeat this process with additional family members found, to find more generations of the family.
• Church Records often were kept years before government records were required and are a good source for finding ancestors before 1900.

I Can’t Find Who I’m Looking For, What Now?

• Try viewing the original record to see if there were errors in the transcription of the name, age, residence, etc. Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
• Collect entries for every person who has the same surname. This list can help you identify possible relations that can be verified by records.
• If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, then try searching records of a nearby locality in an area search.
• Standard spelling of names typically did not exist during the periods our ancestors lived in. Try variations of your ancestor’s name, especially French versions.
• Remember that sometimes individuals went by nicknames or alternated between using first and middle names. Try searching for these names as well.
• Search the indexes and records of British Columbia, Canada Genealogy.
• Search in the British Columbia Archives and Libraries.
• Search in the FamilySearch Catalog
