Dear Alan and list folk, Thank you for sending along the telephone number... it has changed slightly but only because of the new addition to the area codes... The number for the Alberta Provincial Archives is now (780) 427-1750. The librarian was of great help and was able to take the required information over the telephone and my credit card number for the order. The cost was $20.00 Canadian plus $3.00 shipping and handling all of course with GST. When they reach my order (they have a little bit of a back-log) a research librarian will contact me to tell me of the information she has found. From what I was told it should be a minimum of four pages but could be as many as ten. At this point I was told to mention the fact that it was a female who obtained the homesteader land... apparently this is quite unusual unless the female is a widow... which she wasn't as she was listed as Annie Tremblay the wife of Maurice Tremblay (who was alive and well). The research librarian can then do further searches if I so request at the cost of $30.00 per hour in order to attempt to find out why my great grandmother would be the named homesteader while her husband was alive and well. By rights he should have been the homesteader as he was the Canadian citizen and she was American, apparently homesteader grants were only given to British Subjects, which doesn't include American citizens. Thank you again for the information you supplied. I really appreciate all the help that I have gotten from you and other list members. Have a wonderful week and good luck in your searches.

Here is the url for the land grants data base at the National Archives: http://www.archives.ca/exec/naweb.dll?fs&02011102&e&top&0

Hello Listers, Looking for my CUNLIFFE cousins, or any relationship to James and Mary Florence CUNLIFFE my Grandparents. They immigrated to Manitoba in or around 1913, I have an address on Brooklyn St. Winnipeg, from 1914. At that time there may have been my Great-Grandparents, Jonathon and Rachel CUNLIFFE and their younger son Frank or Francis living with James and Mary Florence. My Aunt "Dolly" also Mary Florence and my Mum, Winnifred Ellen were daughters of James and Mary Florence CUNLIFFE, born in England and about 4 1//2 and 2 1/2 when the arrived in Canada. Two more children were born after WW1, they were Phyllis and James Francis CUNLIFFE. Anyone recognize these folks? Cheers, Nickie Searching.....CUNLIFFE,SMITH, HOOT, TETEURALT

Dominion Land Grants, even for Manitoba, can be searched by surname on the National Archives of Canada site. If your family was not homesteading, i.e., the first to break the land, you will have to search local land titles offices I would expect. Anyone got a better idea? Bette

You might want to check out this link: http://www.cyndislist.com/manitoba.htm#Records. I haven't been able to find any sort of data base that allows a search for land grants in Manitoba by surname. If you can find out microfiche numbers for any information you may want from Manitoba Archives I could go and see about getting copies for you.

Good Morning, I am in need of an address for a genealogical society that would cover the Turtle Mountain area of Manitoba. Am looking for the parents/siblings of Mabel May Evans who was born in Turtle Mountain in 1881. Her family moved to the Alameda County area of California in 1889, according to one census record. She lived to be 100, and died in Alameda, California. Thank you, Diane

Hi Everyone, I have a brand new question.... Has anyone ever heard of: The International Meat Market? No funnies here... I have a copy of a letter written by my grandfather Thomas H. Sales on September 18, 1908 to his first wife Susan Wilson Murray Sales. The letter is written on International Meat Market account sheets. Besides saying International Meat Market it also says Meat and Farm Produce of all kinds. C.J. Craig, Manager, Reston, Manitoba. I know it's a long shot but I'm hoping that someone might either remember or perhaps know if this company is still operating... I know that my grandfather was a butcher by trade... I'm wondering if this company was or employed butchers as travelling slaughter men? My grandfather moved around a great deal I know that he worked in Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan and BC, in all places he was a butcher. Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Deborah SEARCHING: AYERS, East Grinstead, Sussex, England; Oxted, Surrey, England BISH, Godstone, Surrey, England; Oxted, Surrey, England SALES, Oxted, Surrey, England; Stratford & Petrolia, Perth County, Ontario; Wolseley, Saskatchewan; Reston, Manitoba; Calgary or Edmonton, Alberta; South Westminster (Surrey), Anyox, Greater Vancouver, BC; Canada (My grandfather moved around a lot... he also spent time in Vancouver, Washington, USA) SNAZEL/SNAZELL Surrey, England; Ontario, Saskatchewan, BC, Canada Need more info see my web page at: http://www.angelfire.com/me2/familypix/sales.html
