This database presentation is meant to assist the reader of
“Interred With Their Bones” in making further inquiries into
individual aspects of interest in the book. It might be the
goal of some readers to explore in more detail possible
relatives or ancestors and thereby glean genealogical or
family history facts and stories from the sources I have
used. It may be that others want to know more about the
different towns, places and events mentioned in the book. As
well, this research database may enlighten further the casual
reader about unrelated topics such as details in some of the
newspapers of the day, the Dixie Jubilee Singers or the
Chinese in B.C. All of the information was assembled by the
writer as background for the book, or was actually used in the
book itself. It is hoped that by offering these details and
minutiae of the world of 100 years ago in British Columbia it
will stimulate research into local and family history, as well
as the history of our province as a whole.
Unfortunately, in the interests of brevity and time, I was
unable to trace all the family connections of the many
individuals in my book. Some of the families may be missing
siblings, dates, or other pertinent data.
If any of the readers should have any
questions, suggestions or additional information to share,
they are urged to contact the writer via direct email at
peter_@_billminer_.ca.
