Posted on: General Alberta<br>Canada Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Canada/Alberta/General/11479 Surname: ------------------------- "Heather" has posted the instructions on how to decipher these monsters on the Saskatchewan Provincial Query Forum, which you can read at http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/benbbs.cgi/Canada/Saskatchewan/General/1854 I was having problems in Saskatchewan and discovered that the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool website has some good Torrens system maps that will help if you have anything you're looking for there. And it is much easier than the other way. Anyway, I followed Heather's instructions and found your land description is close to Brosseau and Duvernay in Alberta. Unfortunately, those are unincorporated places (probably just a couple of houses and/or a grain elevator or gas station) and they probably won't show up on a map, so I dug a bit deeper and found the land is about 9 km (6 miles) from Two Hills, which you will find on an Alberta map. Good luck in the rest of your search!

This legal land description of NE 10-56-12-W4th, is located about 2 miles north of Brosseau, Alberta. Brosseau is about 8 miles northeast of Two Hills, Alberta. Two Hills is about 96 miles northeast of Edmonton, Alberta. Hope this helps.

Hi Listers I am looking for any information on AMELLIA ELLEN DAKIN PRYDIE nee Heap. Born U.K. 1885 This is all i know so far apart from the fact she was in Lethbridge i believe during the early 1960's. Thanks Gary. Please visit my family web site, its only just been started, and is still under construction, so please bare with me.

Hello List.....Does anyone have a connection with a Matilda (Tilly) Monette, who was born in June of 1876 and from Lowell, MA. Her husband's name is unknown and they may have been married in MA. She was not with her parents in the MA1910C. They were living in Deadwood north of Peace River in 1935. She is my husband's aunt and he is wondering if he has any cousins in the area. Thank you. Donna

My grandparents, Maurice George Karl and Philomena Anna Hartman were married in Alberta on July 8, 1919. Family tradition was that they were married in "St. Mary's in Edmonton." Checking with the Catholic diocese there, I was unable to locate a church named St. Mary's. My grandfather and his brother were running a sawmill at the time, so they may well have been in a town outside Edmonton. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might track down a copy of the marriage license and church record of the marriage between Maurice and Philomena? Does anyone know of a church named "St. Mary's" in a town nearby? Thank you. Dennis Hughes

Posted on: General Alberta<br>Canada Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/Canada/Alberta/General/11474 Surname: Mickelow, Berezowski, Horbal ------------------------- Thank you Peter for your help, and to SS as well. I am merely finding out more and more information as I go along. Yes they did live in the Fedorah area, after coming to Canada in or around 1900. After searching for endless hours, I did not realize I could obtain this type of information!. Thanks again.

I just want to give a great big thank you to everyone who responded to my query about "Early Furrows." I think this is the most responsive list I've ever joined! I wish you continued good luck in your research, Laura Balluff St. Louis, MO

Hello, list members, I am searching for information about my great aunt, Lena Karoline Anderson, born December 23, 1892, died May 03, 1967, buried at the Leroy Community Cemetery, Leroy, SK She had a son, Clarence, Alvin Anderson, born April 19, 1915 and died April 28, 1969 in Saskatchewan. She married Ole Bergseth after 1915 and was living near Lougheed, AB. Ole had a relative Rasmus Bergseth and the family was connected to the Snethuns. A passing mention of the Ole Bergseths is in Rasmus' story in Verdant Valleys in and around Lougheed. How/when the marriage ended is unknown. Her second husband was Andrew Johnson According to Clarence Anderson's wife, Andrew was a hired man working at the same place Lena was-location unknown. How/when the marriage ended is unknown. I believe that was her last marriage since she is buried as Lena Johnson. Lena was living with Jim Thompson on a farm/ranch between Olds and Sundre, AB about 1960. I have no idea how long they were there. She then moved to her son Clarence's farm, north of Dillabough, SK--a little hamlet east of Weeks, SK and remained there until her death. Just maybe there is some one out there that recognizes these names and locations with a little more info than I have. I would sure appreciate an opportunity to fill in some of Lena's years. Thank you very much in advance. -- Dianne Rabchak Rabchak's home on the Net http://www.agt.net/public/drabchak/rabchakhome.html Peace Gen Web http://www.rootsweb.com/~abpeace/peacehome.html East Peace Gen Web http://www.rootsweb.com/~abepeace/eastpeacehome.html

Posted on: General Alberta<br>Canada Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Canada/Alberta/General/11469 Surname: PETERSON ------------------------- There was a Swede or Norweigan by the name of Olie PETERSON, I believe a bachelor who farmed in the Big Meadows District north east of Enilda, Alberta in the 1950's. This may not be a connection but you might find something in the Alberta County of Big Lakes.

Posted on: General Alberta<br>Canada Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Canada/Alberta/General/11468 Surname: peterson, Petterson, Pedersen, Allen ------------------------- Thanks for trying.. But I think you are right, This Olaf doesn't seem to fit(Yet anyway) OLaf could have used the surname Petterson or the farm name was supposed to have been Allen/Alen or Ulen?? His brother in Hythe-used Petterson-but his parents are shown on the 1875 Norwegian census as Pedersen. Bye for now Janice

Hi Janice, There is an Olav Peterson listed at the following; Local History Book Entry: PETERSON, Olav ; Along The Burnt Lake Trail ; Red Deer There are many Peter Peterson's listed - in various locations. Ask on the list - if anyone has this book and can do a lookup.(if you feel that this is possibly the family you are searching). There is a volunteer at the following site; Who will search Local History books published in various communities - The volunteer -may take some time to get back to you, she is either very busy - or away -although she is still at the listing site: See Alberta - first entry: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/1285/hlCan.html Glenbow Museum and Library - also has Local Community History books in it's collection: If they have the book - they may do a look up - there will probably be a minimum charge - for copy fees or ? http://www.glenbow.org/contact.htm Contacting the Town of Red Deer - may help - http://www.city.red-deer.ab.ca/ Contacting Red Deer Library - they should have the Local Community History Book in the collection: http://www.rdpl.red-deer.ab.ca/ ** Do you know when Olav might have died? If it was over 20 years ago - the death registration is now public record - and is available at the Alberta Archive. You can visit - and photo copy ( or hand copy ) this information - or - there are volunteers who will search public records. This will save you the $20.00 fee that you would need to pay to Vital Stats - for the same information. http://raogk.rootsweb.com/alberta.htm http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/1285/hlCan.html At 02:00 PM 3/23/01 -0700, you wrote: >Posted on: General Alberta<br>Canada Queries >Reply Here: >http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Canada/Alberta/General/11464 > >Surname: Peterson, Petterson, Pedersen, Allen, Amundson, Berg, Franson >------------------------- > >Help Please! > >Looking for information about Olav/Olaf Peterson/Petterson/Pedersen ..Born >Oslo Norway about 1874-1885..
