Hi Colleen: I live in eastern Manitoba and I cannot find an address or telephone # for either of the churches you mention. Over time they may have become combined with other churches in the area. I suggest that you write to: Roman Catholic Church, Archdiocese of St. Boniface, 151 Cathedrale, Winnipeg, Mb., R2H 0H6 They should be able to advise where the records for the two churches you mention are kept. Good Luck, Ann

Hi Everybody, I added information for Cemeteries, Libraries, Newspapers and a couple more links to the Links List. Hope this helps everyone in their research. If anyone has something they would like to contribute to Western Region research, please contact me. This is our GenWeb Project to collect and distribute genealogical information to assist other researchers.

Greetings list, Go to the Manitoba Genealogical Society web site: http://www.mbnet.mb.ca/~mgs/ Scroll down to Cemetery Transcriptions, then click on. This shows the list of cemeteries, by municipality Good luck, -- Ross Doherty, Saskatoon

Elaine: - burial records for Foxwarren Cemetery, as well as for Minniska Cemetery, near Russell? It's highly likely they are kept by the cemetery. Most small town in MB haven't published them unless they have been documented for the Manitoba Gen Society. You might check out their web page so see what they have to offer or else write directly to the cemetery. I expect if you address a letter to the cemetery using a 'reasonable postal code' it will get there. Good luck, Bette

Does anyone know where the burial records for Foxwarren Cemetery are kept, as well as for Minniska Cemetery, near Russell? Cheers, Elaine

Thanks for the URL Phyllis. It may come in handy for several things!

Thanks, Bette!

Colleen, I agree with Lois, the towns you are looking in, Elmo and Whitemouth, are sufficiently small enough that anything addressed directly to the church, with the town name and province, plus a general postal code (find one that seems to fit by searching the internet) will surely get there. Bette (formerly of Manitoba)

Hi Colleen, Here is the URL for Canada Telephone Directories on the Internet http://www.teldir.com/eng/namc/ca I tried Canada411 and Yellow.ca At Yellow.ca, when I entered Church for Whitemouth, MB, four churches appeared. Nothing for Elma. Maybe someone on this list lives in the area who has a telephone directory can help. I would bookmark this URL for future reference, though.

Greetings, Donna: Donna Grasby wrote: > > ... I am looking for the Grasby Family of the Odanah RM > 1885-1950 John Franklin Father- Hannah Falkingham > Mother any information would be greatly appreciated. You and I had some correspondence on this family a few months ago. I was interested in the connection to the DUCKLOW family through the marriage of Hannah Jane Grasby to Edmund Ducklow. I'm not entirely clear about the info you gave me back then. Were there two Hannah Jane Grasby's? I show Hannah Jane (b: 26 Aug 1860), daughter of William Grasby and Elizabeth White. I then show John Franklin Grasby as her brother (b: abt 1862), and that he married Hannah Falkingham (b: abt 1865). The only child I show for John Franklin Grasby is Aaron (b: abt 1890). Did Aaron have a sister also named Hannah Jane? As you know, my interest in this is only peripheral to my own reseach on the POOLE and DUCKLOW families, but I don't want to have inaccurate info in my database. I am keeping my eyes peeled for anything I may happen across on the Grasbys, and shall contact you if I happen across anything. Kind regards, Patricia Sherman

Hi first time posting to this list I am looking for the Grasby Family of the Odanah Manitoba RM 1885-1950 John Franklin Father- Hannah Falkingham Mother any information would be greatly appreciated.

Leah, On the Manitoba GenWeb site is a page for Manitoba Genealogy Links http://www.rootsweb.com/~canmb/mangenlinks.htm There you will find a link to the Manitoba Genealogical Society.

No, the Red River Settlers came with Lord Selkirk circa 1810, sixty years earlier.

Hi, again, Lise....Here's some tidbits on Wolseley.... During the rebellion of 1870 in Red River, Col. John Garnet Wolseley, with 1,200 soldiers, was sent into Manitoba to restore order (read: overthrow Riel's provisional government). As the armed troops were unable to travel through the United States, the principal transportation route between Eastern and Western Canada. Col. Wolseley's troops left Toronto in May, reached Fort Frances early in August and Fort Garry on August 24. Certainly his troops moved about quite a bit, most likely between the Manitoba forts such as Ellice, and into Saskatchewan, etc. Most of their time however was spent around Red River, as Wolseley was the new governor. Hope this can get you started...

Hi! I posted awhile back about searching for my great grandparents Mary Flett and James Sangster, who were probably married in 1870-1872. I was speaking to the geneologist today and she said that there was a possibility that James may have been part of the Wolseley troop-which would explain why they moved quite often. Would anyone be able to check for me if he was a member of this troop and if the documents say anything regarding his marriage to Mary (or where they were married?) Does anyone know any information regarding the Wolseley troop? I would really appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!! Lise
