THE CITY OF VANCOUVER VOTERS'LIST 1886
--BIOGRAPHIES OF INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR
DESCENDANTS

 

 

[he City of Vancouver celebrates its centennial in 1986. Various
organizations throughout the city and the province of British Col-
umbia are undertaking diverse projects to celebrate this momentous
occasion. The British Columbia Senealogical Society has taken this
opportunity to commence a project of great value to genealogists
& family historians. In line with the Vancouver Centennial theme
we have chosen as our subject the City of Vancouver 1886 Joters'
List. We propose to collect all available information on the {n-
dividuals listed therein, their families and descendants. The info-
rmation gathered will form an important archiva] resource. Our aim
is to ultimately publish this gathered material as a series of vol-
umes of concise family biographies.

Attached is an alphabetized transcript of the 527 individuals
who appear on the 1886 Voters'List, a list of persons entitled to
vote in the 5 electoral Wards of Vancouver in that year.

We urge everyone with any information regarding any of these 527
individuals, families and descendants to please contact the British
Columbia Genealogical Society Centennial Committee, c/o P. 0. Box
