Special Note: Hundreds of Canadian local histories and records have been made freely available and searchable online at www.ourroots.ca. This site is not affiliated with Books We Own, but I included the link here as it should be of general interest to those researching roots in Canada.
"Peacemakers of the North, The." Cora Ventress, Marguerite Davies, Edith Kyllo. Davies, Ventress and Kyllo. 1973. This book does NOT have an index of surnames. Look ups must be done by community, then family name. If looking on a map of the B.C. area, the area includes communities north of the Peace River - along the Alaska Highway starting at Taylor travelling north to Fort Nelson and east to the Alberta border.

Contains tons of information regarding clubs, companies, schools, school honor rolls, municipal council, buildings, churches, etc. Has pictures and many many names are mentioned throughout. This is not a book discussing families though and that sorta thing. This is fair size book and isn't indexed so I would need some time to do the searches. DA1
