    1. Re: [CAN-Manitoba] Heritage books

    3. Hi Listers, Would anyone know if there is a heritage book for the Hadashville (east of Winnipeg) area? I purchased a small (106 pages) booklet in this town when we passed through several years ago called; "A Packsack of Seven Decades" published by the Hadashville Women's Institute, that describes the history of the town and surrounding towns (the District of Reynolds). But I believe the heritage books are large books with individual family stories. Would anyone have more information about this area or be able to direct me to books that do? Better yet, is anyone else on this list researching families (such as Mr. & Mrs. Charles Hadash) from Hadashville?

I'm not surprised you couldn't get the book in Neepawa. They were only printed once in the 1980's, and almost by order. From what I can find, almost all heritage books are only available through secondhand book stores. In fact, many stores don't even like to carry these books because they are hard to market, except through the internet. I found the one on Beausejour in a tiny town on Vancouver Island and snatched it up because it only cost $10 and I figured that sooner or later someone would want it. Cheers, Bette ______________________________
