Hello Alice, I would suggest trying the local church records for a baptism , do you know which denomination your grandparents were? Possibly you could contact the Millet Historical Society and find what churches of the specified denomination were in the area, and from that, follow up on finding the records of baptism. Just a thought, Barry Hovelson Camrose County GenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~abcamros/ Flagstaff County GenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~abflagst/default.htm Now we have run into another stumbling block. My father, Claude Bryan Dickens, was born in Alberta, Canada somewhere around Patience/Millet/Ponoka, in October 1912. My brother contacted "Alberta Government Services Registries" in Edmonton looking for some kind of birth record. He received a letter back stating "no record found". I'm sure this is not an unusual occurance for the time period. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where we look now?
