Peter Slumach (continued)

Click here for the last entry on this subject. The archivist of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver will be back to work next week. She promised a transcript of the baptism register of Slumach that should confirm that he was given the first name Peter. In anticipation of a message from the archivist, Archie Miller surprised me a few hours ago with the following transcript in his collection of that entry "from research done some time ago in Catholic records"

Baptism, January 16, 1891, Petrum (Slumach Indian), In gaol immediately before execution, New Westminster Catesy Indian, W.M J Morgan O M I

This confirms that Slumach was given the name Peter just before he died. Thanks to Archie Miller for sharing this with us.
