Surnames: Hermansen & Westad Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TNC.2ACI/2565.2.2 Message Board Post: I believe August Hermansen'sn parents homesteaded in Petersberg, North Dakota 1905 before they went to Didsbury, Canada. I have a feeling they went to Hans's farm in Disdsbury in 1916 when he joined the service, as he was a farmer. In 1921 the moved to Seattle, Washington. Hans's mother was my grandfather August Westad's sister. I would like to know when they moved back to Vancouver, Canada and also the year Anne Hermansen passed away. Their son's names were Herman Hansen, Hans, Matthias, & August; daughter Martha. I also would like to know if anyone has information on their son Herman Hansen. Thank you! Phyllis Westad Prigge

I just plugged into the bcarchives website and it comes up as anne dying in 1945 December being 80 years old. Does this sound like her? She died in Vancouver. There were at least dozen or more Hermansen deaths.
