A Test Case for Archival Research

Archivists at the BC Archives randomly selected George Bevilockway as a test case to see what they could find out about this previously unknown British Columbian. They soon discovered who George had been married to and that he had owned land in what is now a provincial park. They even found a photograph of him. See the video in watch for more about this family history test case.
