Searching for info and possible living relatives of my Great Grandfather John Ritchie. He was married with 2 sons, and lived in Lesmahagow Scotland prior to WW1. He served in WW1 and later emigrated to Canada leaving his two sons, Thomas and Neil in Scotland. It is believed that he settled in Manitoba (possibly Winnipeg) where he is believed to have re-married and started a new family. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Cindy, Holmstrom, Happy (Jr.)377 not found on that page Holmstrom, Happy (Sr.)130,109 played a fiddle Holmstrom, John listed as a first settler and old-timer, had a big threshing machine, referred to as "Big John" Holmstrom who for many years was one of the most prominent farmers in the community."Mrs. Bernard Wetteland told me of her father, "John Holmstrom was born at Sunslaw in Sweden and came to Manitoba the year of the rebellion 1885. He first took a homestead up in Danvers, N.W. of Erickson, near Round Lake. It was heavy bush bush land, and John was the best "end-man" around Basswood. He could split shingles of exactly the same thickness. Making the 'ends' of the logs for the houses was a tricky bit of axe-work, yu know they had to be morticed both ways. John did a lot of hard work on that bush farm. For some years he carried everything, including flour by the hundred weight, on his back from Minnedosa. In fifteen years he built a good house, broke up his land, and raised a big family of six boys and six girls. Holmstrom, Gladys boyfriend Richard Chandler, story of how he asked her to wait for him after the war. Jim McCullough who had been a Barnardo home boy and had been raised by the Holmstroms. p172 Holmstrom in 1901 gets a threshing machine made by Sawyer-Massey. Holmstrom, Arthur, brother-in-law to Richard Chandler. Arthur is in Texas and was two years older than Richard's wife who is a Holmstrom. She was about 16 when the war started.Arthur enlisted in WWII. Holmstrom, Eldon enlisted in WWII Holmstrom, Carl enlisted in WWII The author interviewed people for this book and their stories can be very long so I've just tried to pick out parts that might be of interest.

Hello Darlene, The first place you might want to search is at the Manitoba Genealogical Society at 1045 St. James. They have a web site at http://www.mts.net/~mgsi/ that will tell you their hours and phone number. It only costs $5 to spend the day there and the volunteers will be able to guide you. Also since you are going back a few years and there is a church connection you might want to go to the Legislative Library at 200 Vaughan Street. They have a web site at http://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/leg-lib/index.html and it may be helpful to let them know ahead of time the type of information you are seeking. They should have church records. They also have all of the old Manitoba newspapers and you might like to see the Selkirk Record (1885-1895). If it was the closest newspaper to Mapleton it might carry a longer obituary for you. There is a book you can get at the Winnipeg library called "Selkirk: The First Hundred Years" by Barry Potyondi. There might be some information in that book about the minister and his church that would help. You can get it through inter library loan.

Karen, Thanks so much for the info. I live in a small town on the West Coast and do not have access to a lot of resources. I will check out the websites and see if I can use anything there. The Selkirk library did go through some local history books for me but couldn't find anything. Thanks again.
