    1. [ALBERTA] SHAW in Rochester

    3. Hi everyone...This is my first posting to your list. Having no previous research experience in Alberta I am here to learn as well as to find what became of my lost great Uncle. I've just returned from a trip to Livingston Montana where my great grandparents The SHAWs and their four sons homesteaded after the turn of the century. One of the boys, William SHAW, single man, sold his land to his brother John D. SHAW in 1922 and disappeared. Land records in Livingston disclosed he was at the time a resident of Rochester, Alberta. William was born in Woodstock, Ontario July 17, 1877 but became an American citizen. Can anyone suggest a way I can track down my William (aka Bill) in Rochester? What would have been going on in Rochester in 1922 to attract him? Thank you for any help you may be able to give, Sincerely Linda of B.C.
