British Columbia 1871:
Compiled by Dave Obee. This is a 115-page index to residents of B.C. as recorded in the first half of 1871 -- just before it became a province. This information was gathered at the same time that a census was being taken in other parts of Canada, so it complements that resource. British Columbia 1871 is based on a directory put together by Edward Mallandaine, a Victoria architect. It puts all of the names from the directory into two lists -- Greater Victoria and everything else. There are also maps to make it easier to find the locations mentioned, as well as a bonus -- a list of undelivered letters at the post offices in New Westminster and Victoria. This will be an essential aid for research in the early days of British Columbia. C$15.00A List of Residents Based on the Work of Edward Mallandaine Royal Oak Burial Park
A History and Guide. By Dave Obee. This is the first comprehensive look at the largest municipal cemetery in British Columbia. It includes a history of the cemetery as well as section-by-section biographies of some of the people buried there. All burial locations included in the bio section are identified with GPS co-ordinates. C$15.00Back to the Land:
Second edition, published December 2003. By Dave Obee. This is a vital reference for researchers working on the Canadian Prairies. It includes a basic summary of how to read land descriptions, as determined by the Dominion Land Survey. There are also maps of the three Prairie provinces showing townships and ranges as well as -- new in this edition -- the boundaries of the electoral districts used in the 1901 census. Other maps have been enhanced to offer more information and better clarity. The second edition offers more information on finding land information, and how to use it once you have it. There is also an index of townships, giving the matching sub-district in the 1901 census, and the census microfilm number. Also new in this edition is a coil binding, to make it easier to use the book. The original edition has been our best-selling item since it was published in 2001. C$9.95A Genealogical Guide to Finding Farms on the Canadian Prairies Western Canadian Directories on Microfiche and Microfilm
By Dave Obee. Third edition, published April 2003. Expanded and updated -- twice the size of the second edition. This guide lists local directories that have been reproduced in microform, and lets researchers know what to look for. It includes entries for directories covering Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and the Yukon between 1860 and 1995. Directories are an invaluable resource for the years between censuses, as well as for the later years, where census records are not available, and this guide will help you find them.
