Thanks Jeen. I (and other people) had never heard of this particular resource. Quintin keeps coming out with more and more stuff. They are a great resource. Thanks again, (and I wish I had Catholic family back then, because the Anglican's won't allow anything like that CD). ===== Lynton (Bill) Stewart Metis, Scots and English Ancestry, Loyalist and Patriot, USA and Canadian.

Where did you get your marriage book from?

Hi Jean Where did you purchase the book on Manitoba Marriages? Bev Powell bwpowell@sympatico.ca Strathroy, Ontario, Canada

Hi Jeen Noted that you have book on marriages. Is the following listed and would this contain the birth dates of the individuals, or witnesses. Rudolf Schultz and Justyna Dreger were married March 06-1907 in Friedensthal Man. Delores Stevens

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of any books for sale that have the births of Manitoba listed. I have Manitoba marriage from 1834-1976 but do not have anything on births/baptisms. Thanks, Jeen

Would someone be able to do a look-up at this cemetery for me? A Mary Seens is buried there, and on the same tombstone is what I believe to be Thomas Seens. I'm looking for this information. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Melinda

Hi Folks: Does anyone have the transcript for Pine Falls Cemetery? I am looking for any PATTERSON family members who are listed. I have an obit for Mary Ann Patterson who died Feb. 8, l947 which indicates that she was buried there and that her husband is still living. Her husband was William J. Patterson, I am looking for his date of death. Also there was a son Charles Louis Patterson, most likely he would be buried there. I'm also wondering if there is a local history book for the area, which is the R.M. of Alexander, apparently they settled there in the early l900's.

Dear list, I am "hobby genealogist" and interested in the surname "Warsaba". My ggrandfather was named Warzaba. He lived in Finland (that time part of Russia) in 19th century. his family originated from Central Europe. I have recearched the origin of this rare surname. (Warzaba, Warzabo, Warzabu, Warsaba, Warsabo). Some of my ggrandfather's descendants immigrated to America about 1900, but i do not know where. I found via "google" "Manitoba pioneers" list and there the name "Warsaba". Is there on this list somebody who does know the history of Warsaba family in Manitoba? I appreciate all information.

Does anyone have information on Thomas Seens and family. Thomas is shown as the postmaster for Roden, Brandon from March 1, 1887 to April 13, 1888, according to the Canadian National Archives. The name SEENS is very difficult to trace. There was a Thos. Seens in Otonabee, Peterborough East, Ontario in the 1871 census, who was 40 years old, or born about 1831. This may be the same Thomas Seens later found in Manitoba. There was a George H. Seens in Brandon, MB in the 1901 census who was born in 1865. He could have been a son of this Thomas Seens. This George H. Seens had his widowed mother living with him, June (possible Jane), who was born in 1836 in Ireland, who could have been the wife of Thomas Seens. If anyone has anymore information on this family, I would appreciate hearing from you. Best regards, Melinda

Hello Don in Seattle, I found this at www.westerncemetery.com Ste. Rose Cemetery c/o Box #149 Ste. Rose du lLac, Manitoba R0L 1S0 It also gives the name of the manager and his telephone number.

The Manitoba Legislative Library at www.gov.mb.ca/chc/leg-lib click on Hours, locations, services will find and send you the obit from the rural newspaper for $5 You could also contact the Winnipeg Library and they will look up the obit for free if it was in a Winnipeg paper.

Hi folks, I am new to this list. I am researching my McAmmond and Pull ancestors, most of whom moved into various parts of Manitoba in the early 20th century. However, I am not having much luck with one ancestor. My great-grandfather, John Pull, born in Norfolk, England, appears on the 1901 Scarborough, England census, and shortly afterwards migrated to East Bay, Manitoba (an area on the east side of Lake Dauphin---I found it on a 1928 map). I found the following details of his death on the Manitoba Archives: Name: John Pull Date of death: 04/09/1909 Age: 83 years Sex: Male Place of death: Ochre River, Manitoba Registration Number: 1909,0044664 However, I have not been able to find any information about his place of burial. I presume that it is in the same area....East Bay, Ste Rose du Lac (where his step-daughter was living), or Ochre River. I know that some cemeteries in the area have been transcribed, but I have no idea what cemetery he is buried in. I would be happy to buy a transcription if only I knew what cemetery. Is there some kind soul who might have access to cemetery records in the area and would be willing to do a look up for me? I would appreciate any help that you might be able to give me. Many thanks, Don McAmmond in sunny Seattle, Washington donmcammond@aol.com
