Birth, Engagement and Obituary indices

1985 - 1991

 

BRI has an index that includes birth, engagement and obituary listings for the Vancouver area, covering the years of 1985 -1991, inclusive. Although the index does not include all published notices for the Vancouver area, quite a few names are covered. If you are looking for a notice that you believe may be referenced on our index, please send us an e-mail and provide us with the name of the individual, the event, the year that the notice may have been published (or approximate time frame), the age and last known residence of the person, and the names of any family members that you suspect may have also been mentioned in the notice. We'll take a look for the notice on our index at no charge. If a match is located and you would like a copy of the notice sent to you, please;

 

1. Forward payment by e-transfer to botterill@shaw.ca in the amount of $10.00, followed by an email to the same address with the security question information.

 

2. Or, mail us a Canadian cheque or money order in the amount of $10.00, payable to “Leanne Botterill”. With this request, enclose a self-addressed-stamped-envelope (if you want a copy sent by mail as well as by e-mail). Include your e-mail address and phone number.

 

3. Mail the details of your request, including the name referenced on the index, the type of notice (birth, engagement or obituary) and the year the notice appears on the index to:

Obituary indices - 1992 to present

Provide us with the full name of the individual, their date of death (even an approximate year of death may be helpful), their last known residence, their age at the time of death, and the names of any other family members that may have been noted in the obituary.
