ARMSTRONG ADVERTISER
The Armstrong Advertiser newspaper was published in Armstrong, British Columbia, Canada. This newspaper reported on life in the North Okanagan.
The names in this list were indexed from the available newspapers which were provided to the Vernon & District Family History Society by Louise Everest. These issues are mainly from the years 1957 through 1961 with one issue from each of the years 1952, 1955 and 1956. The issues were indexed by a number of individual members of VDFHS whom we would like to thank for their efforts. Special thanks to Darlene Jones who indexed all of the 1957 and 1958 issues. The indexing was coordinated and typed by Ginger Jalonen. Names are shown as printed in the newspapers and no attempt was made to correct errors in spelling.
The listing for the Armstrong Advertiser index can be found below...

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.
