Hi George, Your wrote about your gg grandfather William Wellwood b. 1816. First off, the Early Canadiana online is a fabulous site - thanks for passing along the URL. I've used it a lot too. If you go to http://www.kenora.net/manitoba/ there is a search button at the bottom of the page. Using it, I found two references to Wellwood. a) Dr. John S. Wellwood who was a postmaster in Eden (about 25-30 miles from Minnedosa) from 1909-11. b) there is a town called Wellwood in Manitoba - again about 20 miles from Minnedosa. I wonder why it is named thus. If you query the Boissevain library which is also found on the above URL, they may be able to tell you. No "Wellwood's" show up in the Minnedosa 1891 census. Also, in the volunteer lookups on the Manitoba Mid-West Page (URL above), there is someone who has the Minnnedosa Cemetery records. If you discover your Wellwoods come from this area, do get back to me. I was born in Minnedosa and would be glad to tell you a little about the town. Bette in Victoria BC where the daffodils are about ready to burst!

Hello I'm just starting on my search, would like to hear from anyone researching this name. PIPHER Thank you, Heather

My gg grandfather William Wellwood b. 1816 in Inverkeiting, Fife, Scotland was an illegitimate birth and his fathers name was not mentioned. However on his second marriage in 1860 he listed his father as James Wellwood who was a Missionary Minister in Upper Canada. Since Upper Canada is Ontario, I have been searching for him there with no luck. Last week I came across a web site called Early Canadiana Online which has many books online. I conducted a search using the word "Wellwood" and was surprised to find three references. Two of the references were titled (What women say of the Canadian north-west) which is very interesting. The section on Minnedosa quoted a Mrs. James M. Wellwood (Rev) as a ministers wife. Since the Wellwood name is not very common this may be the family I have been looking for during the past 15 months. James would be about 65 in 1860. If anyone has a copy of the Minnedosa Cemetery Transcriptions I would appreciate knowing if the list includes James Wellwood or any members of any WELLWOOD family. The Early Canadiana Online web site may be useful in your research. The articles I looked at contained several different towns with quotes from several people. You may find one of the names your looking for. The URL is as follows, http://www.canadiana.org/cgi-bin/ECO/mtq Thanking you in advance, George Purvis Euclid Ohio

Greetings, Here is the URL for a very good book store that specializes in genealogy: http://www.pacificcoast.net/~ibgs/ Good luck, in your searching, -- Ross Doherty, Saskatoon

Go to your local library and see what they have available. If you like something there, then you could go buy it. There are a lot of books out there and it's hard to choose. I have one called The Everything Family Tree Book by William G. Hartley. It is easy reading and gives a lot of good info on getting started. Good luck.

Coralynn, This isn't a book, but maybe it will help. RootsWeb: Getting Started http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/help/start.html describes all the genealogy resources to search for your ancestors. And RootsWeb's guide to tracing family trees. http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/ Phyllis coralynn wrote: > > Could someone give me the name of a good book to boy to explain how to go about all the way to find information.

Hi Coralyn, Like your name!! I don't really know the names of any good genealogy books, but ,Barnes and Noble has an on-line address and I understand they have many good genealogy books. Everton Press is probably online too and that is all genealogy stuff. I'm rather new to all of this too, but, it's kinda fun searching and knowing you did it all by yourself. Have you put your surname on any lists with Rootsweb? I think you just type an email addressed to: (the surname you are researching -L@rootsweb.com, then just type in the body of the letter "subscribe", DO NOT TYPE IN SUBJECT, ETC.. That puts you on their list and you will be connected to all people who are searching for your name. What is the surname you are searching? Hope this helps..it is kinda like the blind leading the blind..since I'm fairly new to both the computer and genealogy. Don't forget the Latter Day Saints libraries..they have it all! They are also online. Best of luck!

I had an occasion this past summer to order a copy of a marriage Cert from Rupertsland Diocese for a marriage in 1908, and I had the document within 3 days of ordering it. I happened to be in Wpg at the time so I just picked it up. I am sure that they would even have it in the mail within the same time period. They were really helpful when I called.
