Hi Del.\, Do you have a Manitoba map? If so go north from Brandon on Highway 10 to a place called Forest, then a bit over 5 miles north of that and 2 miles east should put you on that location. http://geonames.nrcan.gc.ca/index.html Try putting Reesor or Rissor in the search engine on this site.

Hi Sharon, I did some research on a clergyman born in Ireland and later ministered in Ontario & Selkirk. I received some information from the Diocese of Rupert's Land, also from the churches he ministered at. If Charles Prichard was with the Church of England you can also fax the Lambeth Place Library in England. They hold the Crockford Clerical Directory. This information has when & where clergymen were schooled. Fax # +44 (0) 20 7928 7932. I did find a Charles James Prichard aged 9 in 1871 born Clunbury, Shropshire, England. If this is of any interest to you let me know. Good luck with your research.

Does someone have knowledge of a residential school located in St. Boniface at the time of the 1901 census. I possibly have some family members present in what would appear to be a school. Thank you for any info available. Freda Stewart Calgary

Bette

I am not familiar with the area at all. I'm trying to find the name of the newspaper that would cover this small town. I would like to have the obituaries of my two g aunts that died and are buried at Oak Lake Cemetery. Melinda Linda O.

Looking for a John BRAILLI born 1874 Cardiff, Wales, came to Canada in 1900 with wife Clara and son Clement and had a daughter Celelia in Winnipeg , Sept 1901 and is in the 1901 census in Winnipeg. Cannot locate them after that date. Wonder if some one has access to Winnipeg directories and see if they are listed after 1901. Thank you Kathie
