Hello, I am researching the FISHER family of Medicine Hat. Edwin Bayard FISHER (d. 1939) and his wife Annie Pickard FOWLER (d. 1951) moved there from New Brunswick circa1920 and are buried in Hillside cemetery. I am looking for any information about their descendants in the area. Thanks, Rob Fisher

Posted on: General Alberta<br>Canada Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/Canada/Alberta/General/11467 Surname: Berezowski, Bersowski, Berzowski, Horbal, Mickelow ------------------------- It is written that Stella and Steve Mickelow came to Alberta around 1911 - 1912 and settled in the Fedorah area (Sturgeon) and that he worked as a Coronado CN section-man. The Horbals came to Alberta between 1925-1926. The three Berezowski children came in about 1928.

Posted on: General Alberta<br>Canada Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Canada/Alberta/General/11466 Surname: ------------------------- An Olaf Peterson is mentioned in the book "Youngstown Memories - Across the Years 1909 - 1935". I doubt if he is your Olaf Peterson, as to my knowledge he never married, but here it is for what it's worth. The entry reads in part: Olaf Peterson immigrated from Sweden to South Dakota where he ranched. He came from there and filed on N 1/2 of 5-28-9 in 1909. He moved to the district in the spring of 1910. He brought a large herd of horses and was driving them from Brooks in June, and was caught in the blizzard that hit on the third of June. He sold most of the horses to settlers in the district. He farmed his half section and in 1919 he bought the south half of the section he lived on from Jim Rainboth. He farmed this land until 1941 when he moved to Youngstown where he resided until his death."

Patience is an unincorporated area (hamlet) about 20 miles west northwest of Wetaskiwin, or about 30 miles south southwest of Edmonton.

Posted on: General Alberta<br>Canada Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/Canada/Alberta/General/11465 Surname: Berezowski, Bersowski, Berzowski, Horbal, Mickelow ------------------------- In trying to trace my husbands great grandfather's history, on his mother's side, the great grandfather's name was Steve Mickelow, (spelling may have been different back then) and his wife's name was Stella or Stephanie. Steve's second wife was a half sister to Stella, with a maiden name of Berezowski, Bersowski, Berzowski - not sure of the spelling. Looking for any information on both sides. Steve had 3 brothers and three sisters. Nieces and nephews that came from perhaps Poland had last name Horbal although it is not quite clear if they were Steve's or Stella's nephews and nieces. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the book"Pioneer Roundup", which is a History book for Hythe and surrounding areas, there is only one Pederson mentioned. Ben Pederson, who did come from Norway, did work in Saskachwan as well. No others.However there is several other books in the area. But I don't have them. There is a Beaverlodge book, as well as a book called "Along The Wapiti". Perhaps another lister might have those Norma

Hi, My great-grandparents were early settlers near Hayter in the Provost area. I found the index to "Early Furrows" on the Alberta Genweb site and lo and behold, my great-grandmother's brother, who helped them establish a farm there, was listed! Does anyone have that book or have access to it to do a look up? The fellow I'm looking for is named Andy Plapp. Thank you very much, Laura Balluff St. Louis, MO PS I welcome any information regarding the PLAPP or BALLUFF surname from that area. They settled there between 1909 and 1911. Thanks!

My grandparents, Arthur and Jessie Dickens moved to Alberta Canada sometime around 1902. As far as we can tell they lived in Ponoka or Millet, Alberta.

Alice, Ponoka is a town 100 km south of Edmonton or 50 km north of Red Deer. Ponoka is in the centre of a major agricultural area of central Alberta. County of Ponoka surrounds the town. Millett is a village 40 km south of Edmonton, just south of Leduc. It too is in an agricultural area. Millett is in the County of Leduc. Patience may have been a hamlet, as it's not on the current highway map.

Hi Judith. Thanks to Muriel's perserverance we have a rep. on the Committee for Newfoundland now. It is paying off. Would like to see some more effort on the part of some other provinces. The largest part (1090) of the current signatures for Alberta were those from the AGS. Have not received the ones from AFHS yet, but am looking forward to them. Thanks to all for your support.

Some other provinces obviously need some improvement. Course I'm snapping my genealogical suspenders with pride at the good Alberta showing right now. We prairie folk really need to get the 1906 and later censuses. But I'd really like to congratulate Nfld for getting on the board. After all, they are much less affected by the census release censure than the rest of the country. Having joined the Confederation much later, they can and have released data to at least 1921. > Previous Current Total > > AB 52 1188 1240 > NF 166 00 166 > ========================================== > Totals 1185 2239 3424 Table above snipped to suit me. :-) -- Judii Rempel rempel@jrsolutions.net Russian Mennonite Genealogy: <http://members.home.com/rempel/> Mennonite Historical Society of Alberta: <http://www.rootsweb.com/~abmhsa/> Alberta Family Histories Society <http://www.afhs.ab.ca> Canadian Genealogical Projects Registry <http://www.afhs.ab.ca/registry/> JR Solutions: <http://www.jrsolutions.net> Canadian Population Society: <http://www.canpopsoc.org>

There is a Campaign on at present attempting to have the Government change it's policy. Something you might be interested in if researching family anywhere in Canada. The last census available to us is the 1901 - there is a great possibility that the 1906 Census for the Three Prairie Provinces and the 1911 and future census may never be released to us.
