Lilybell, I searched the Humboldt library site a few days ago and learned they have the Humboldt newspaper archive on microfilm and, like you, realized that searching a year’s worth of papers would be simplified by knowing the date of Hannah’s death. I live a 5 hour drive away from Humboldt so doing the search myself would be more time-consuming and expensive than practical. I plan to phone the cemetery, local undertakers and the library to see if the search can be simplified and made more economical. Sandra, thanks for trying to help, I tracked down Hannah’s grandson (the one who signed his father’s death cert in BC) some years ago and still have his old e-mail address which might still work. Finding Hannah’s parents identity is a brickwall I have been banging my head against for ten or fifteen years now and I have recently had dna tests done which lead to matches which might involve Hannah’s descendants, whom I had no great interest in until now.
