Dear Bernice (and all): Ever since I found (and met) all of my wonderful Saskatchewan family members I have been fascinated by the connections that stirred the immigrants to make the move to Saskatchewan. My William Blake left his family in Watford, Herts about 1907 and lived in Qu-Appelle before homesteading in the Woodrow/McCord area in 1913. William and his family had been farmers in Boarstall, Bucks for several generations so by homesteading he was able to get back to the farming he loved and missed. But I have never found any connections that he made in England that travelled also to SK. I know there was much publicity at the time but surely such a big endeavor would be best taken with a friend or family member. William was over 60 when he emigrated. One son did join him later on. Any ideas about how to find any connections? Annette Richards Sonoma, California
