Hello all has anyone out there heard of a book first published in 1981-on the history of the Pipestone area?I have heard it contains a lot of history of local folks, one of which is the LEECH family which were my gr.parents who homesteaded in the area in the late 1800,s. Any ideas on where to look would be most gratefully received. Judith

Greetings, For look ups on Henderson Directories in Winnipeg, go to the Winnipeg GenWeb site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mbwinnip/lookups.htm Scroll down to "look ups" Click on then look for the person who does the work. Good luck -- Ross Doherty, Saskatoon

Another researcher has another Christopher APPLETON in Winnipeg at the same time, who was supposedly born there in 1876!! And she has a tree for him. It turns out his mothers name is Ann, and father's name is Richard, and his father is a horse trainer. The problem with that, is that is exactly almost the same as my Christopher. And, he lived in the same area my grandparents use to. So now, I have to get someone in Winnipeg who has easy access to old directories, to look at 1900,01,02 or so and see if they are both in the book. If they are, then the problem is solved, if they are not, then I am in a quandry. This is enough to drive a normal person around the bend. Thanks and happy holidays Doug

Information on these two unknown thus far except for date of marriage, June 12, 1879 at Blantyre. One of their children was my great-grandfather, Allan Craig GARDINER, B:May 8, 1884 in Millbourn Lodge, District of Dalserf, County of Lanark. I suspect that they also had a child Duncan Craig MacIntyre GARDINER who also emigrated to Canada. Allan Craig GARDINER emigrated to Canada at undetermined date and married Catherine (Kate) THOMSON of Aberdeen in Westbourne, Manitoba. Had four children: Duncan, Robert Bruce, Mary & Margaret all born between 1914-1924. If anyone else is a descendant or has any further info, I would love to exchange. Thanks

Posted on: Manitoba, Canada Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Canada/Manitoba/General/2361 Surname: CHARTIER ------------------------- I am looking for information about my French Canadian relatives who may have roots in the Richmond/ Windsor, Quebec Canada area. My grandfather, now deceased, was Wilfred Chartier and my grandmother Claira,are originally from the towns of Richmond and Windsor, they are both now buried in Richmond. I live in the states, in Plattsburgh, just 20 minutes from the border. My grandparents moved to the U.S. when my dad was only ten years old, he is 58 now. Up until they moved to the states my dad and his siblings did not speak english. Unfortunately, my cousins and I were not taught french, so the bilingual era ends with my dad and his siblings. I'm sure that I have many french speaking relatives in the Richmond area that I have not met. I'm interested in finding out more about my origin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
