Our next BCGS members’ meeting will be via Zoom.us on
8 June 2022 at 7:30PM.
Join the meeting between 7 & 7:30 when Members chat and share.

Andrea Lister & Brenda Smith of the Maple Ridge Family History Group,
will talk about their latest project – On the River: The Fishing Industry in Maple Ridge

“On the River: The Fishing Industry in Maple Ridge” is the Maple Ridge Family History Group’s fifth community history project. Join the project team to learn how we used our genealogy skills to discover the untold stories of families who were active in our community for generations but whose voices have not been part of the dominant narratives. Follow the team from transcribing and analyzing the 1891 Census of Canada, to studying the nature of federal census records. Learn how participants expanded the search to find fisher families, using many record types to reveal six families and a lost industry.
