Newspaper Obituaries Index 1997

1997 obituaries from the Parksville Qualicum Beach News newspaper are listed below.

Please note that only twenty-five names are visible on the page at one time, but enter the surname of the person you are researching in the search box and all names in the list will be searched for the specific name you are researching.  You may also search by obituary date or death date if there are no results when searching by surname.   Searching by death date or obituary date will cast a very large net, allowing for a more generalized search.

If you do not find the name, try using wildcards.   Usually, a * wildcard stands in for zero or more characters in a name, and a ? stands for one character.  As an example, Sm?th* will find names such as Smith or Smithe or Smythe.

Note: Remember to clear the search box before beginning a new search.
