Hi June, No doubt the good folk on this list will be able to tell you in detail where these two locations are but I thought you might find this an interesting map: http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/nmc/n0043265.pdf It is a map for Western Canadian land grants. The locations you have are W5M = West of the Fifth Meridian so they are west of Edmonton. The rest I'll leave to others. But this is one of my most useful maps ever.........!

The only clues thus far are a Land Grant (homestead) and a Death Certificate. Unfortunately, the legal description given on each document are different. Land Grant: To Albert WAITE, NE1/4, Sec.19, Twp.56, Range 13, W5M. Death Certificate: Elizabeth Ann WAITE, buried on farm - SE1/4, Sec.16, Twp.54, Range 16, W5M. The Land Grant was made in 1920 and the death was in 1935. Does anyone have survey maps that would make identifying these properties easy? We have no idea where they would be. Alternatively, Is there anywhere on the Net that we could look at survey maps ourselves? Would really appreciate some help with this conundrum. thank you for reading June ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ALBERTA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
