The information in the BCCFA database is intended only to get you pointed in the right direction. This is offered as a convenience to all of us 'mail order researchers' who are thousands of miles from the "old homestead" and its genealogical treasures.
PLEASE...... when corresponding with any of the organizations listed below, include a self-addressed envelope and sufficient funds to cover return postage. Many of these organizations are very small and operate on extremely limited budgets. They will not continue to exist if researchers burden them with extra operating expenses.
Be sure to include a word about BCCFA in your correspondence when requesting additional information or ordering transcriptions from the organizations listed below. This feedback is instrumental if there are to be any future releases of the BCCFA database project.
