Hi! I just looked at a map of Manitoba. It's kind of confusing, but Swan River is north of Winnipeg, near the Saskatchewan border. Here's the confusing part, Swan Lake (the lake is north of Winnipeg, but Swan Lake the town is south of Winnipeg near the Canada/US border. As for looking up obituaries, try: Manitoba Genealogical Society E - 1045 St. James Street WINNIPEG, Manitoba R3J 1B1 Telephone: (204) 783-9139 Fax: (204) 783-0190 E-Mail: mgs@mbnet.mb.ca or Legislative Library Main Floor East 200 Vaughan Street WINNIPEG, Manitoba R3C 1T5 Telephone: (204) 945-4330 Fax: (204) 948-2008 E-Mail: Legislative_Library@gov.mb.ca Hope this help. Have a wonderful day. Margie

Hello. Would anyone know if Manitoba has indexes for births, marriages and deaths like Ontario? If Vital Stats don't have a death record for someone deceased in Swan River in 1909 who would. I have an obituary and would like get a birth year. Joyce

Hi Sue and All: I live in Winnipeg and most of the Funeral Directors you listed are still in existence. The only ones I haven't heard of are: J. ZAWIDOSKI FUNERAL HOME, 561 Selkirk Ave BARKER FUNERAL CHAPEL, LTD, 124 Donald Street WESTERN FUNERAL SERVICE, 501 Main Street I'm not sure if MORDUE BROS LTD, FUNERAL HOME, Broadway and Edmonton still exists under a different name. If you'd like I could look into it further. Have a wonderful day everyone. Margie mmk@icenter.net

Hello -- I'm looking for descendants/family of Naomi Temple MARSHALL, born 1872, died 1955. She married John McArthur and had 4 children, John, Cecil, Eva and Charles. Naomi was one of my grandpa's 14 brothers and sisters, and I'm trying to track down family/information about them so they become more than names and dates. The family settled in Winnipeg and according to what little information I have the children married and also lived in Winnipeg. As far as I know, Cecil McArthur had 3 sons, John, James and Gerald; the daughter, Eva, married a William WYLIE and had 3 daughters. Would like very much to contact anyone in the family -- Judy Bingham Fullerton, California __________________________________________ NetZero - Defenders of the Free World Get your FREE Internet Access and Email at http://www.netzero.net/download/index.html
