Posted on: General Alberta<br>Canada Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/Canada/Alberta/General/11501 Surname: ADAMSON ------------------------- As Margaret was over 100 when she died I would be interested to know where I should look for obituaries. I have looked at the AGS group of the Edmonton branch publications list and see there is listing of obituaries that can be purchased but am not clear if this would cover the Vermilion area.

Have printed off your email and am so very very happy to find a family member. When will you be back from Korea? Thank you. Viola.

Hello Alice, I would suggest trying the local church records for a baptism , do you know which denomination your grandparents were? Possibly you could contact the Millet Historical Society and find what churches of the specified denomination were in the area, and from that, follow up on finding the records of baptism. Just a thought, Barry Hovelson Camrose County GenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~abcamros/ Flagstaff County GenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~abflagst/default.htm Now we have run into another stumbling block. My father, Claude Bryan Dickens, was born in Alberta, Canada somewhere around Patience/Millet/Ponoka, in October 1912. My brother contacted "Alberta Government Services Registries" in Edmonton looking for some kind of birth record. He received a letter back stating "no record found". I'm sure this is not an unusual occurance for the time period. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where we look now?

Thank you to everyone for responding to my question about Patience, Alberta. We now know that my grandfather A. L. Dickens was the first postmaster of this unincorporated rural community. Apparently the post office eventually closed in 1952. Now we have run into another stumbling block.

Jane Elizabeth APPLETON passed away in Vancouver on November 7, 1942. The funeral was in Vancouver, but the obituary said she was buried in Macleod. I am not sure if an obituary appeared in the Macleod Gazette or not. On her arrival from England in 1901, Jane lived in Winnipeg with her brother Christopher. I have no idea if she lived in Macleod at one time, but obviously she must of. I am sure she requested the place of burial. Jane was born in Osmotherley Yks, on about Sept 27, 1857. In what cemetery would an Anglican likely be buried, and who keeps the burial records?? I will be going through Macleod this summer and would like to visit the grave. Jane was my Dad's Aunt. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Jan 4, 1851 in Megantic County Quebec, to Mary (Ann) WOODS b. approx 1833 in either Ireland or Maine, USA.

Andrew NICHOL b. 1858 David NICHOL b. 1865 m. 1891 to Ellen STILES (Lived at Knee Hill according to 1901 Census - had a bunch of children of which some died. Looking for those children and their burial sites. Their surviving children were: Robert John Nichol, Beatrice Nichol, Alberta Nichol, Frederick W. Nichol, Joseph Nichol and Stanley Nichol.) John (Jack) NICHOL b. 1861 or 1867(?) m. Apr 6. 1900, Innisfail, Alberta to Eva STILES (sister to Ellen Stiles) (Jack is my g-grandfather. He moved around a lot and I could not find him on the 1901 Census anywhere and yet I have their marriage record stating they were married in 1900 in Innisfail. They had 8 eight children: John Nelson, Dora, Mona, Clara, Roy, Violet, Harold and Earl. Any help would be appreciated) Elizabeth Jane NICHOL ("Jennie") b. 1868 m. 1896 to Fred HUMPHREY (Jennie married Fred and moved to Kamloops, BC for a time. Then in the early 1900's they moved back to Innisfail and built the "Innisfail Hotel." ANY information about that would be wonderful!) Fred NICHOL b.? Catherine (Kate) NICHOL b.? m. ? Fred SELSBY According to family lore we suspect all the siblings moved out west from first Quebec, then Ontario then to Alberta. I have a written note from a relative saying they had cousins in Claresholm too (this is way back in the early 1900's). All of the children and grandchildren after moving out to BC would go back to Black Diamond and area to work at harvest time. Also I would like to get a 1901 map and plot my family's land on the map. Can anyone give me any advice as to how about obtaining a map and plotting it accordingly? Thanx Listers! Keitha Nichol-Amdam

Have you a death date?.... Maybe there was no birth certificate.... For one reason or another there was no registration done.... What about the" Old Age Pention"???? Maybe there would be something there, or a SIN # Alot of the people did have to have other people with ID's swear that they knew them in order to get the pention... just a thaught...............

To be even more specific, they are right around where the town of Sparwood now resides. There is still a very small hotel at Michel, and when they tore the last old buildings down at Michel in 1997 I was working for the Sparwood newspaper and got to take pictures for one of the Alberta papers.
