Our Genealogy HelperIntroduction ...Although we found mention of Okanagan Mission during our research, we really don't have any information about it.<1> We believe that Okanagan Mission had a post office at one time. We have done a cursory search and haven't been able to find any evidence that the community still exists.. We have a couple of goals for our Gazetteer:
By learning about Okanagan Mission (and the surrounding area) during the time that our ancestors lived, we hope to have a better understanding of both their community and its relationship to their lifes. We hope that this tool helps to give us an insight into their world. As we add data and organize our Gazetteer to help with our family research, we will be adding to this our Genealogical Helper for Okanagan Mission. While we don't have information that is specific to any given person or family, we intend to expand our understanding about where and how people lived.
