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.

Hi all How would I go about getting a death certificate for my grt grt uncle Imri, who died in 1915? This is what I have found so far about his family; http://www.russellmb.com/ THE SKELDING FAMILY (written in) 1967 Imri Skelding, chain maker, with wife Susan and son William arrived in Russell from Staffordshire, England, in September, 1909. Susan's sister, Elizabeth Lightfoot and her husband Fred had arrived in Russell the year before. After an unsuccessful try at farming in the Boulton district Imri worked in Russell for Tom Lyron at paper hanging and painting, particularly in the Presbyterian Church, then being built. A daughter, Elizabeth, now Mrs. W. J. Thomson, was born soon after the family reached Russell. When in Grade XI at Russell school, Elizabeth won the Governor-General's Medal. The Skeldings returned to England in 1912 but were back in 1913 to stay. Other members of the family meanwhile reached Russell, brother Jack Skelding and Arthur Leech, brother of Susan. Imri worked for Harry Clee the blacksmith, until his death in April, 1915. Susan married Jack Skelding and one child, Edith, now Mrs. Stan Kennaugh, was born. Susan was again widowed and moved to Winnipeg in 1925, where she died in 1960.
