Hello, Looking for information on OLAUS NESVOLD and/or LAVERNE NESVOLD. Olaus emigrated to the MEDICINE HAT (JENNER) area about 1911. He went back to Norway in 1914 and married Laverne. I know that OLAUS NESVOLD was listed in the PRAIRIE CRUCIBLE (family history book). I had borrowed the book via inter-library loan and made a copy of the information, but have since misplaced it. Does anyone have a copy or access to this book? Thanks for any help! Erin

My grandfather Nicolai Hunceac immigrated around 1925 from Borauti, Bukovina, Austria, Rumania. He was born in 1904. His parents were Ivan Hunceac and Elena Popowich. He settled in Wandering River Alberta. Any information would be helpful.

That is him. His obit, which I just acquired, say he was with the CAE. His age would not make much diff. Another of my gr-grandfathers was 38 when he re-enlisted in WW1.

Thanks. I have that site and found it did not have contact info. In Wilson obit it was he was with the Can Army Eng., but on" Soldiers of the First War" site he does not show up on a search. I was hoping that someone from Alberta or familiar with it in that time frame might have a lead or access to a resource listing those soldiers from the area.

I have just discovered via an obit that a relative was with the Canadian Army of Engineers in WW1. Unfortunately, he is not listed on the Soldiers of WW1 site. His name was Wilson Vanidour and between 1908 and 1920 he was living in DAysland, Alberta. Is anyone familiar with the Canadian Army Engineers.? or how I could get some info on them during WW1.

Robert; is he the same Wilson Vanidour that died in BC in 1948? b. 1876 which would make him 38 at the start of WW1. I wonder if he was too old to join the RCE?
