Hi Everyone Is there anyone out there that tell me exactly where my grand-parents and family homesteaded in Nightingale, Edmonton from 1921 - 1934. I believe they lived on a farm one and one-half miles west of Nightingale - where can I view this on a map? The family names are HYNAM (Owned the blacksmiths shop), BISACRE (Frank drove the school bus), OSMOND (Walter killed by lightening in cornfield). There neighbours were KIMMETT, HARRIMAN, STOUDLEY, DOUGAN. Still hoping to purchase the book 'English Colony - Nightingale and District' published by the WI, the info gathered by Harvey Dougan on behalf of his mother in the 70's. I have written to him at an address in Strathmore but my letter has been returned to me today, unfortunately I can not read the official stamp as to why it was returned. Please keep an eye out for the book in possibly second-hand book shops. My niece is visiting Edmonton next year and would dearly love to see where her great-grandparents homesteaded.

Hi Katherine, I have an old list of unincorporated populated places in Alberta and it shows Nightingale as being northeast of Calgary. If you go to the northeast corner of Calgary, it would be about 25 miles east. Strathmore is about 10 miles south of where Nightingale would be. If this is the right place, it is not near Edmonton. If you are interested, I could scan part of a map for you tomorrow, and email it to you.
