1889 Vernon Directories
This information has been transcribed by Ginger Jalonen of Vernon, British Columbia, from the British Columbia Directories available at the Vernon Museum in Vernon, BC. The information is intended to aid researchers in their quest for their family history. It is hoped that being able to locate an ancestor in these listings will help lead family historians to the area where further research will be more fruitful. As there may be errors of transcription or in the original directories themselves, researchers are cautioned to confirm the details through further documentation.
