My father is dying and has expressed an interest in finding the ancestry of his maternal grandmother, Emily Perkins of Kaslo, British Columbia. I have no further information which I can provide. I do not even know her maiden name.

The second request is from me requesting any information on the ancestry of my grandfather Clifford Vance. His father is buried in the cemetary in Creston B.C., but I don't even know his first name. I was told that the family moved west from Ontario around the time of the Lizzie Borden murders. They first settled in Alberta where the city of Calgary is now located and then moved to British Columbia. My great-grandfather operated a horse logging operation in the Kootenays along with his two sons: Clifford and Gordon Robert Vance. Clifford settled in Kimberley in the late 1920's and worked for Cominco. He married Ida Rose Perkins of Kaslo B.C. July 26,1929 and they raised a family of three in Kimberley. Clifford Vance passed away in Kimberley B.C. in March of 1995 while Ida passed away August 5,1994.
They are both buried in the Kimberley cemetary.
Any information which could be provided would be appreciated!
