Surnames: COOK Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.canada.alberta.general/4359/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi, Looking for any information on William Thomas COOK, who was born February 07, 1863 in Bentinck Township, Grey County, Ontario. He lived in Silver Water, Manitoulin Island, Ontario for some time. He married Grace POTTS in 1887 and had 5 children: Norman Sinclair Halberton (b. 1888, m. Jennie Barbra McMillan, 1911 and d. in Taber, Alberta), Robert John Earnest (b. 1890), William E. (b. 1891), George Lyslie (1893), and Elizabeth (1896). The family moved to Alberta in 1911. William T. COOK died March 16, 1944 and was buried in Grey County, Ontario (not certain if he/family had returned to Ontario at some point or if he was just buried there). Any help would be of great assistance. Thanks Sean Gale

Hi Stella, Thanks...........I'll contact Shirley. The surname was definitely Garbecki in Poland. It could be a typo or maybe the spelling got changed when they came to Canada.

I have been to the site you mentioned, and I have ordered films. I am about 80% sure that this is the church that my grandfather's family belonged to. I know my grandfather was an orthodox, and I don't think there are any other orthodox churches in the town, but I could be wrong! I also use rootsweb, but like you, I am having trouble with the new format. My email is nicolehunchak@shaw.ca. I hope the films I ordered help me in my search. I really appreciate your help!

John T and Mary E Allen operated a boarding house on the edge of Bassano, AB between 1910 and 1918. They had older boys, James/or/Jim, Charles, Leo, a daughter, Mabelle, William/or/Bill, Leo, and Dorothy and a baby they named Mary Gertrude who was born there. The older kids were teenagers while living in Bassano and Leo, Dorothy and Mary were smaller children during that time. A cousin has the boarding house guest book, but she is in her 80s and gave that to her son and I don't know how to get in touch with Randy. I've seen the book one time in my life. If anyone knows of this boarding house and John T. Allen's Dopple Grey horse team that took visitors from downtown to the boarding house, I would like to hear about this. I believe they were a Catholic family. Mary E. Allen was born as Mary E. O Hallarn/Hallarn in Michigan to Caroline B. O'brien and Patrick O'Hallarn (spelling being consistant on this surname is rare). I believe that it is entirely possible that John T and Mary Allen were in Bassano, AB on the invitation of Mary's family - the O'brien family, possibly. Any records of Mary Gertrude Allen being born in Bassano, AB is greatly appreciated. Also any information about the entire Allen family and possibly extended family in the O'briens or O'Hallarns would be also greatly appreciated. Mary E. Allen died Feb 25, 1922 and is buried in Washougal, WA's Holy Cross Cemetery. John T. Allen died in March of 1952 and is buried in Yakima, Wa Here's a link to my family's genealogy web page: http://www.lindakathleen.com/johntallen.html Thank you.
