Hello, Recently there has been made mention of Town Histories. Would SKS be able to tell me if there is one for Swan River? or the Melita/Pilot Mound area, and where I might find copies. Thank You. Vicki Winnipeg. Researching: KENNER TIBBLE.

Looking for any information on the Reynolds and Martin Families who settled in or around the municpality of Oakland, County of Brandon. Circa 1880's. My gt. grandparents were married in 1889 in Oakland. Would like to find some info on when the family settled in the area and on my gt. gt. grandparents. Does Oakland still exist? Would there be a history book of this area? Thanks Pat Goodman

On Wednesday, October 4, 2000, Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien announced that Mount Logan will be renamed Mount Pierre Elliott Trudeau. While I do not intend any disrespect to Canada's late Prime Minister or his family, the prospect of renaming Canada's highest mountain is a disgrace for Canadian traditions and heritage, and for the honour of one of Canada's greatest surveyors, explorers, and geologists. The tribute to Trudeau should not dishonour other nation builders. You can help stop this by going to www.savemtlogan.com and registering your name in opposition to this change. If you think that Mount Logan should always be Mount Logan, please forward this letter to everyone on your mailing list.

The information I gave in the original message is all that is needed. The Census records aren't kept at Stonewall, they are at the National Archives. The film number is T-6435, and you may order it from N.A. through InterLibrary Loan. Just go to your closest public library where there's a microform reader, and speak to the InterLibrary Loans Co-ordinator. The film will be ordered in for you, and will take anywhere from three or four weeks up to six months or longer to come in. Average wait is about eight or nine weeks. Alternatively, you could try Provincial Archives, in the capital city closest to you, if that isn't too far away. Most Provincial Archives and many big universities have the films in their inventories. Your third choice is to get the film through a Family History Centre, if you are living close to one. The only info the Librarian requires is the m/film number, and the fact that it is a National Archives of Canada film. I did have the film at the Library here in Yellowknife a few months ago, but don't expect to get it in again for a while. Possibly someone else in this group may be using a copy of it right now, and may be willing to do a lookup for you. I'd be happy to do it if the film was presently available to me.

I have been told that my grandparents John Theodore and Charlotte (Lundberg) Olson came to Canada circa 1905. They apparently resided in Roblin, Manitoba until 1929 when they moved west to Kelowna, B. C. There were 12 children, one of which was my father George Arthur born 1918 in Roblin. I know of 5 other children, Anne, Alvin, Alfred, Tillie, Carl and Charlie. Tillie apparently died in Roblin sometime in the 1920's. Charlotte's brother Vic Lundberg also came to Canada about the same time. Any information on the Roblin area (cementeries, etc.), or about John and Charlotte or Vic would be appreciated. jbusler@3web.net

Heather, If they only settled in 1905, and therefore you won't catch them on a 1901 census, then I might try querying any Dauphin library. There are other things to do I'm sure, but I expect Dauphin, like many town ins MB, printed a "history of Dauphin" book probably written for their 75th or 100th birthday. They may tell you if you family is listed in it. That's the fast, easy way....and maybe you'll get lucky and they'll copy anything and send it to you. Bette

Hi Bette; I found John and Sarah Colbert in the 1881 census for Springfield, Selkirk area. For the 1891 census they were in the Springfield, Lisgar area. I have requested homestead records for the location in Manitoba that might fit. I am used to long shots!

Are there any on-line cemetary listings for Manitoba - specifically Dauphin and surrounding rural areas? These families are from Ukraine so Orthodox churchyards would be the most likely.

I too have been unsuccessful in locating the homestead of our ancestors who settled in the Dauphin area around 1905. The actual location could be Mossy River, Fork River, Fishing River, Sifton, Ethelbert areas too, which are close to Dauphin and which the remaining relatives remember the older generation talking about as aunties and uncles farm locations. Is there another source one of you could suggest? I'm researching Nellie Kotlarchuk/Kitlarchuk and George Miller.

Actually, the team members are from all over Canada, but are based in Moose Jaw. Each of them is allowed to remain on the team for only two years, and half the team is changed each year. This is to allow other qualified members of the armed forces a fair opportunity to be spend time on the team.
