Can someone help me here. I have gone into cd 118 of the FTM, family archives and found some relatives. It doesn't give any real information. This data says it comes from LOVELL'S DIRECTORY of MAN. and N.W.T. 1900-1901. Is there some way to get my hands on this and would it have more information Coralynn in B.C.

Hetheringtons and Mathers - hello. If you are related or know of someone that might be to families of either Mary Livingstone and Richard Hetherington married in the 1880's and/or of Elizabeth Livingstone married to a Mather also in the 1880's in or around Winnipeg and Minnedosa I would appreciated hearing from you. I've been working on the Livingstones but unable to make the connection to family memebers of the above. Thanks. Joyce

Hello Bette in BC, I believe the person you are looking for is Gil regarding the George Bryce book. He's at rgilill369@aol.com I too was trying to find the book for him. I left a message for him so he should contact you soon.

I could use a little help here. Before my computer 'died' this past weekend and I had to replace it I was in contact with a fellow from the US (towards the east) who was a descendant of Prof. George Bryce of Wpg. I truly apologize for not remembering your name or exactly where you live but if you are on this list will you please contact me. I have, from the local library, the book by Bryce we discussed - The History of Manitoba. Cheers, Bette

I keep reading, with great interest, about the railroad being built in Winnipeg and would like to know what years this took place Hi Mary, According to George Bryce in History of Manitoba "With a few and unimportant exceptions, the railway system of Canada cannot be said to have commenced until after the passing of the Railway Act of 1849...." "So, whilst in 1852 Canada could only boast of about thirty miles of railway, she has (in 1886) over ten thousand miles." "In 1875 the Pembina branch, sixty miles long, on the east side of the Red river, was graded. On November 3, 1878, the great opening day had come......a train started from St. Boniface to carry a special party...to witness the "driving of the last spike" a few miles north of the boundary line near Emerson [that is the boundary line between Manitoba and USA]." "Among the Manitobans present were: Senator SUTHERLAND James H. ROWAN, Consul TAYLOR G.B. SPENCER A.G.B. BANNATYNE Capt. SCOTT W.H. LYON T. NIXON G. BROWN, Alex. LOGAN Thomas HOWARD D.W. STOBART G.S. McTAVISH W.F. ALLOWAY J.F. BAIN S. BLANCHARD A.F. EDEN Jacob SMITH J.S. McGUIRE C.N. BELL The train officers were: F. HAYWARD, conductor; C.D. VANAMAN, engineer, J. DONAVAN, fireman. The train consisted of a locomotive, three flat cars and a caboose." "The new era of affairs was usehred in by the railroad. It made possible a journey from Ontario to Winnipeg in three days." Mary, this is the only place I have read the above, although I'm sure it's documented somewhere besides this book. Manitobans, however, generally consider the highlight of the railroad story was the arrival in Wpg. of the Countess of Dufferin - but now that I think of it, this steam engine arrived, I believe, by boat! However, I would think would not be unfair to say the railroad boom in MB was 1875-1890 or so. Bette in Victoria

There is a free database at Ancestry.com which lists some of the early immigrants to Canada. They have pulled together information from different sources including the 1901 census and extracted those who listed their birthplace as other than Canada. Check it out at http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/3795.htm Mine were't listed. Better luck to everyone else. Ginger, Vernon, BC, Canada

Hi! I hope this will reach you in Winnipeg! I am from Raleigh, NC, US. Have been researching my husband's family roots in Canada. His great grandmother ELIZABETH PAUL married TOM CLOVER in 1861 in Edmonton. Her parents, were PAULET PAUL and MARGUERITE LAVALLEE. They were married in Manitoba in 1832, St. Boniface. I am looking for definite proof she is their daughter. Any suggestions? Or personal knowledge? Appreciate any help, Shirley Olson glolson@attglobal.net or glolson@bigfoot.com

Hi all, I keep reading, with great interest, about the railroad being built in Winnipeg and would like to know what years this took place? Can anyone give me any ideas on how to find out if our John Herbert Gillson, b. 1873 in Collingwood, Ontario, migrated into Winnipeg about 1899-1900,might have been on one of the crews for the railroad? He disappeared around 1908 and we cannot find any trace of him. I keep reading about all the railroad accidents and men being killed..just makes me wonder if maybe this might be what happened to our John. Thanks to all who can give me info on the dates, which railroads were being built and possibly a way to locate records. Any info. Thanks! Mary T.
