Obituaries for Raaen in Dawson Creek, B.C.

Obituaries for Raaen in Dawson Creek, B.C.

I'm researching my great-uncle, Sevat Sevatson (born 1846 in Aal, Hallingdal, Buskerud, Norway). His daughter Kari married Anders Anderson Raaen. Their son, Sevat Raaen, married Anna Olsdatter Kolbjornsgaard in Aal. Sevat, Anna, and their three sons (Anders, Olaf and Kristian) emigrated from Norway to Dawson Creek in 1929.

On Roots Web I've located entries giving the date of death for Sevat, Anna, and their children Andrew, Chris and Glenn.

Would someone please tell me the best way to obtain copies of their obituaries? (I live in St. Paul, MN.)

Thank you,
Barb

Hi Stella,
Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I've done some more researching and now realize I don't have the exact dates of death, but rather the publication dates of the obits. I found an obit for Chris (Kristian) Raaen on the Bergeron Funeral Home site, and was wondering if I should contact them. Your reply confirms that I can, and I'll be sending them an email request.

Thanks again,
Barb

The Royal BC Museum has archives now with digital images of death and medical certificates.
There are digital records there for Asle Raaen, Celia Mari Raaen, and Sevat Raaen. These records show the date of death, place of burial, date of birth and other important information.

There is another funeral home in Dawson Creek, which has been there since at least the 1950's and also may have records to assist you.
