I agree with Lauraine, "Fifty Mighty Men" is worth reading, and there is also his book, " ... And Mighty Women Too: Stories of Notable Western Canadian Women" (1975) There is an interesting article with a list of his books on the Alberta Legislative Assembly webpages: http://www.assembly.ab.ca/lao/library/lt-gov/macewan.htm Diane Rogers Burnaby, B.C.

Morning Folks: While going through a microfilm of the Land Grants, I came across a family that I wasn't even looking for. I located a Thomas Duxbury of Twp. 12, Range 29, west of the Princ. Meridian in the Province of Manitoba, the south-east quarter of Section 12. 160 acres, 25 May 1892. If someone could tell me a town close to this area it might help me determine who Thomas might be connected to. I am researching Duxbury's of Dauphin, Minnedosa, Neepawa area. Norma Ontario.

Hello Norma Hopefully you have a map of Manitoba handy. I calculate this homestead as being 12 miles north and about a mile east of Cayer. Cayer is a spot on the map between Lake Dauphin and Lake Manitoba. The homestead would be pretty close to the lake.

Does anyone on this list have cemetery records for either the Glenwood or Caroll cemeteries near Souris? If so, would you please do a lookup for a Janes Metcalfe, d. Sept 1925. Thanks, Bette

Hello List: This request I hope is do-able. I am looking for an obit from FLIN FLON. I do not know when she died, I was too young, but she was still alive in 1971. Anne Yvonne LAVOIE (nee: ???????) 1-OLLIVIER married Yves M. OLLIVIER (b.20-AUG-1883 Plouneour-Trez, Finistere, FRANCE d.24-APR-1965 Rathwell, Manitoba, CANADA) re-married after 1971 to LAVOIE

Is it possible that the Metcalfes around Portage are related to ones in original enquiry. Perhaps the person is buried in Portage area somewhere. Have noticed some fairly recent additions to the death Stats from Manitoba Vital Stats Free lists.

Could anyone tell me whether there was ever a Cypress River Cemetary? I have a relative John Hamilton who was buried in the Cypress River Cemetary in 1904 according to the Western Prairie newspaper of the time, but I have not been able to find such a cemetary. Regards....Peter Willcock

Hi: This probably isn't much help, but there were a number of Metcalfs in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. Have you checked out that area?

Hello Manitoba List, Searching for METCALFE'S in Manitoba. Richard James Metcalfe lived in and around the Carroll area. Also looking for Jane Metcalfe who died Sept. 25, 1910. Buried in Carroll cemetary or Glenwood. There is a headstone but Vital Stats says there is no record.... Any suggestions? Also looking for Jacob UDELL family. (Margaret Ester Metcalfe) Jeremiah ABREY family. (Lydia Metcalfe) Please reply to the list or feel free to email me on my personal email.. Thanks Kathy

There are local history books for the Douglas and Inglow area. Unfortunately I do not have a copy. The Carberry Library does. both areas are very near Carberry and probably the Carberry News Express is the paper. Carberry also has archives. Penny Shaw the archivist is very helpful. She only works 2 half days a week. She is more than willing to do look ups. They have the Carberry News Express indexed for marriages, obits etc. They have files of pics from the area. The archives is located in the library. Penny can be e-mailed at cparchives@mts.net. When I was there this summer she worked Wed and Thurs. They might have information on Cordova as well.

Hello Judy, the local newspaper for Portage La Prairie in the early 1900s was The Daily Graphic. I know they were publishing in 1917, but I'm not too sure about 1903. You can contact either the Manitoba Archives at http://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/ or the National Archives of Canada in Ottawa at http://www.collectionscanada.ca/index-e.html to see if they lend out the microfilms.

Hi List, I sent this to the MB central list but did not receive any replies, so maybe someone on this list will know. I have my g. g. grandfather's ( Valentine Straube ) death date as June 3, 1903, at Portage la Prairie, age 77 yrs. He is buried at Hillside cemetery in section 1RC. Can anyone tell me if there was a newspaper there at that time and if there would likely be an obituary for him? He was a business man in the town for quite a few years. Also, would there be any access via the internet, or an address I could write, as I live in rural Alberta. The Portage la Prairie library told me the city has no archives. Any help or suggestions is gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Judy elista@telusplanet.net

Hello Listers: I have discovered a ZARICZNY or possibly a ZARICHNY connection to my WASYLENKO ancestors in Chorostkow or transliterated Khorostkiv, Ukraine. The information comes up on Film 2328702. This film shows both R.C. and G.C. information on baptismal and marriage records. Any connections out there to a ZARICZNY. There was a family in Ethelbert, MB that might be the connection I am looking for. Helen Ginn Ontario --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
