Hi Mary, You said Isaac Hart was buried in Manitoba. Do you know where? and when? There are several things I think you can do - but none of them quick and dirty. I expect others will have suggestions but you might try: a) looking at a Manitoba census for 1891 in areas where you think he might be. I gather you are doing this online but if you have a chance to scan the microfilms directly, it's often quicker. b) If you know when and where he was buried, see if you can find an obit for him in a newspaper - the Cdn National Archives can send you a film to read of the newspapers of the area and time frame. c) get his death record from Manitoba Vital Stats. That should give you a clue to his last known address. d) according to the Western Land Grants (found at the Archivianet site) there's an Isaac Hart who bought the NW part of Section 2, Twp 16, Range 18, Meridian W1 (film reel C-5972) and also the Sw part of Section 6, Twp 17, Range 18, W1 (Film reel C-4038) - Could this be your man? Hopefull that will give you a bit to go on, Bette

Dear Bette, Thank you so much for your help. I took a look at the 1891 to see who was on one of the land grant properties and found Isaac HART. It lists him as married but living there alone and this was an important clue. My Isaac left his family in Ontario and moved to Manitoba around this time. It also listed him as born in Ontario around the same time that my Isaac was born. Thanks to your help I think I have begun to break down one of my brick walls!! I have one other request if someone has access to cemetary transcriptions. Family lore has it that Isaac was buried at Sandhill. I had spent a lot of time looking for a place name of Sandhill, but could not find a village/town by that name. However, I did find a reference to a cemetary called sandhill AKA Ladywood Holy Ghost Ukranian Orthodox cemetary in the Brokenhead area. If anyone has access to the transcriptions to this cemetary could they please see if Isaac HART is buried there? Thank you again Bette. You have been a great help to me:-) Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bette Kosmolak" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 4:31 AM Subject: [CAN-Manitoba] Hart > Hi Mary, > You said Isaac Hart was buried in Manitoba.
