Dear Thanks!!: You need a grid map for Alberta in order to find the exact location this farm. I can give you some general guidance though. A section is one mile by one mile and is 640 acres 'more or less' Since your family had a quarter section, they would own 160 aces 'more or less'. The section numbers are a little strange. Take a piece of paper and draw a large square 6 inches by six inches. Now mark the one inch marks on the sides and join so that you have 36 squares each one inch by one inch. Each one of these squares represents a section i.e. 640 acres. Of course divide each small square into quarters & you have a quarter section. Now for the section numbers. Start at the section in the lower right corner and number it '1', keep numbering to your left and the last square on the bottom row is '6'. Now move to the square right above '6' in the second row & these is section '7'. Now keep numbering to the right on the second row and the last square is '12'. Again move up to the third row and this section is '13' and proceed numbering to the left. Repeat this process until you reach the upper left square which will be section '36'. Now for the range & township numbers. First of all W4 is the Alberta/Saskatchewan border. So your starting point is the corner at the SK/AB/USA border. The range numbers run west from W4 (i.e. SK/AB border) and each number covers approx six miles plus road allowances. The township numbers run north from the Canada/USA border and each number covers aprox six miles plus road allowances. Now for a rough calculation from the AB/SK/USA point of reference The distance from this point to the NW corner of township 46 range 15 would be 15 x 6 = 90 miles plus road allowances west of the AB/SK/USA corner & 46 x 6 = 276 miles plus road allowances north of AB/SK/USA corner. Now to get to the NW corner of 30-47-16-W4 you must add five miles plus road allowances to the north direction & six miles plus road allowances to the west direction Therefore the location of your family farm is approx 281 north of the USA border & approx 96 miles west of the AB/SK border. If you wish to add in the road allowances, they are 66 feet wide in Alberta. Hope this helps James Clark james.clark1@sympatico.ca SNIP SNIP SNIP > My husbands family owned "The south-east quarter of section 30, in township 47, range 16, west of the fourth meridian, in the province of Alberta in the 1920's.

Well! that will work, but I know the answer to that question would be in the archives of this list! I've seem it( I mean a website where you can get that info.) but ofcourse I never saved it! I asked the same question last week. Who ever knows can you please post it again? Also...... how do you get into the Alberta-L archives? Norma(bhorte@telusplanet.net)

Here is another email request for assistance. Can you put me in touch with someone who could do some research for me on an aunt of mine who emigrated to Canada in the early 1920's. Her name was Edith Patton. She lived at Marlborough Mansions 1113-1117 4th St. W., Calgary, from 1924 to 1945. A cousin of mine thinks she married -perhaps a doctor. She was born 21 October 1900 in Scarva, Co Down, Ireland, and died sometime in the 1970's. Her parents were, John and Isabella Patton(nee Groves), who ran a provisions business in the village of Scarva. Any help woulkd be much appreciated.

Here is a message I recieved and would certainly be interested in hearing more about this book if anyone has heard of it. Hello, I am looking for a book with historical stories about the Nanton, Parkland area of Alberta. My mom recalls my grandmother having this book and she thinks it was written by a lady in the early 1900's. She thinks it was called Meadowlarks and Crocus's. Have you ever heard of this book and do you have any idea where I might find a copy? Thankyou.

NEVER LAMINATE a valuable, original or one of a kind document that you wish preserved. Rather, ENCAPSULATE it. Lamination involves sticking a plastic material to both sides of the document. The sticking process can ultimately damage, even destroy, the document. Lamination is fine for documents that are not valuable or one of a kind, and that can be readily replaced. Encapsulation involves placing the document between two sheets of clear mylar that are slightly larger than the document, and binding these two sheets of mylar together with double-sided tape placed along their overhanging edges. Although more expensive than lamination, this leaves the document inside a sealed mylar envelope, with no adhesives contacting the document itself. This is how most professional archivists protect such documents. Archival-safe encapsulation materials are usually available from well-stocked art or drafting supplies stores.

Hello. So sorry on last post. Have a sore finger, Lost all my marbles, Was not home and some one else sent that from my addy!! <VBG> No i am sorry was not intended. Viola.

As a former Arts Museum Curator......I am begging you not to laminate your original pictures and documents......either keep them flat, layered between acid free tissue......(to avoid yellowing) or in a binder, in sleeves.....keeping any newsprint separate from photographs or other paper documents.......or another solution is to place them under glass..... .suggestions: If you would like them on display.....either in a frame.....or under glass on a table........you could get smaller mat ( windows) cut within a larger mat and have it framed as a complete item.....if you go this route, make sure that the mat is acid free......and the backing is acid free......remember not to allow trimming of pictures.......if you wish to isolate part of the image only ....just get that particular window cut smaller......(not the picture...or ducument) If you choose to display them under glass on a table.....you could change your display from time to time.......... It is important to keep them out of direct sunlight......and to avoid handling them .....(oil on hands) In a photo shop you can buy light-weight cotton gloves to wear while handling...... Avoid taping .....there is also acid free tape avaiable....check with a conservation framer.....who follows standard conservation matting......ask to see their credentials. .There is a site which you could contact.......The Canadian Conservation Institute, under Heritage Canada ....they set the standards for conservation .in Canada.......or if you contact your local museum they will most likely be happy to advise you...... After a 100 years of survival, it is gratifying to hear that you have given thought to the further survival of these epistles of time....... ( smile) many regards, Joane Cardinal-Schubert free lance curator ps if you wish to have them photographed......copies could then be laminated.....and the originals kept in a solid file.....or storage as above..... *Anyone I am still looking for any info on my Gr.

there are things that we can do to help preserve these images. Remember that light, moisture and temperature can harm old photos, so keep them from extreme environmental conditions. It's also important to use acid-free, preservation-quality materials for storing and displaying precious family snap-shots. .

Hi, My personal opinion - Do Not Laminate original documents. or photo's. If you want to do this to make handling easier - I would find a safe way - to copy the items - then laminate the copies. thus keeping the originals from permanent damage. Perhaps if there is a museum or archive available - I would contact them - and ask for suggestions on preserving precious items. for the future. Handling items too frequently with bare hands - will make documents deteriorate much more quickly because of the oils in our skin. Always wear white cotton gloves. These can be picked up for a very small charge - at drug stores etc ( some people wear these under their rubber gloves) Tip #1 - Don't laminate Laminating your important documents and treasured keepsakes is a damaging procedure. Although the tough material used in the lamination process may seem like the solution, it actually accelerates the chemical aging of documents and other paper items. The lamination process uses harmful adhesives and heat to permanently bond the document to the plastic. The damaging effects of this irreversible procedure are not immediately apparent but will show with passage of time. Use encapsulation or archival quality containers instead of lamination for document protection. http://www.archival.com/helpful.html http://www.archival.com/NA13.html http://www.mnhs.org/preserve/treasures/framing11-99.html http://www.sos.state.ga.us/archives/gp/pdp.htm http://www.memorymakersmagazine.com/articles/preserving/index.shtml http://www.maine.com/photos/tip.htm http://cuban-exile.com/doc_101-125/doc0102.htm **Please.

I am think about laminating my document and some old pictures. Has anyone laminated their documents and If so what is the best way, hot or cold.? Or is there a better way of preserving them

I have some 100+ year old documents and was going to have them laminated. However, because of the delicate nature of these papers was told to contact a local historical society for their advise as to preserving them. It's one of those little jobs I have yet to get to myself but thought you might like the wisdom of the Quebec historical people I talked to earlier this year.

I was born in California where I am still living. My father was raised in High River, Alberta after migrating there prior to 1908 from Glengarry, Ontario with his parents and siblings. My research is almost at a standstill without the release of the census data from Alberta from 1911. My grandmother died in February 1912 in High River which would be the last census information ever available for her. Five of my father's younger siblings would also be listed in the 1911 census (all now deceased)having been born after the April 1901 census for Kenyon Township, Glengarry. The 1930 cenus for the USA will be released this year. This is in contrast to the "battle" having to be waged by my Canadian cousins and those of you on this list for the release of the census.
