Hi Janice, There is an Olav Peterson listed at the following; Local History Book Entry: PETERSON, Olav ; Along The Burnt Lake Trail ; Red Deer There are many Peter Peterson's listed - in various locations. Ask on the list - if anyone has this book and can do a lookup.(if you feel that this is possibly the family you are searching). There is a volunteer at the following site; Who will search Local History books published in various communities - The volunteer -may take some time to get back to you, she is either very busy - or away -although she is still at the listing site: See Alberta - first entry: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/1285/hlCan.html Glenbow Museum and Library - also has Local Community History books in it's collection: If they have the book - they may do a look up - there will probably be a minimum charge - for copy fees or ? http://www.glenbow.org/contact.htm Contacting the Town of Red Deer - may help - http://www.city.red-deer.ab.ca/ Contacting Red Deer Library - they should have the Local Community History Book in the collection: http://www.rdpl.red-deer.ab.ca/ ** Do you know when Olav might have died? If it was over 20 years ago - the death registration is now public record - and is available at the Alberta Archive. You can visit - and photo copy ( or hand copy ) this information - or - there are volunteers who will search public records. This will save you the $20.00 fee that you would need to pay to Vital Stats - for the same information. http://raogk.rootsweb.com/alberta.htm http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/1285/hlCan.html At 02:00 PM 3/23/01 -0700, you wrote: >Posted on: General Alberta<br>Canada Queries >Reply Here: >http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Canada/Alberta/General/11464 > >Surname: Peterson, Petterson, Pedersen, Allen, Amundson, Berg, Franson >------------------------- > >Help Please! > >Looking for information about Olav/Olaf Peterson/Petterson/Pedersen ..Born >Oslo Norway about 1874-1885..
