Biographical history
The date of the establishment of the County Court at Lillooet has not yet been determined by BC Archives research staff (to March 2016).
On January 9, 1975, the British Columbia government approved and ordered OIC # 0091-1975, which disestablished the registries of both the County Court and Supreme Court established at Lillooet, effective 1975 April 1. The same order applied to the County Court and Supreme Court registries at Kaslo and Vanderhoof.
On February 27, 1975, the British Columbia government approved and ordered OIC # 0803-1975. This ordered that the previous order, OIC # 0091-1975, be amended, revoking its application to the registries of the Supreme Court and of the County Court at Lillooet (and at Vanderhoof).
All County Courts were merged into the Supreme Court on July 1, 1990.
Custodial history
Scope and content
The series consists of two bound volumes of naturalization registers (also referred to as naturalization indexes) from the Lillooet County Court for 1913-1977. The registers are indexed alphabetically and include the individual’s name, occupation, nationality, address, associated dates, and remarks. Naturalization is the process through which immigrants acquire Canadian citizenship.
Volume 1 covers 1913-1914 and a few records from 1920-1930. Volume 2 covers 1920-1977 and includes some loose correspondence relating to citizenship procedures.
