Garth, If you don't get a response to your query here, try the Icelandic list. I also sent your query off to a few friends knowledgeable about certain Icelandic ancestry to see if they could help. They may reply directly to you.

My Grandmother came to Canada from Iceland and settled near Winnipeg in a town called Piney, Manitoba. Her name was Thora Ann Johnson, born November 14, 1895. She married at James Percy Stringer and they lived in Winnipeg. Thanks for your help. Garth

Hi Marg: Yeah, this Manitoba Vital Statistics is the longest wait I have ever experienced. I ordered stuff ages ago, or so it seems when you want to get rolling on your stuff and all you need is a certificate. Actually, it took about 2 months last time I ordered from them. They are quick to reject though :-) Saskatchewan is a quick and snappy if you're lucky enough. Hope to hear from you when it comes in. I will keep you informed of my stuff.

I will send you what I can find take care Toni

To Tony Raugust. I would be very interested in any information that you may have on the name McVicar, or any contacts that you may know of. Sorry to post to the list but your e-mail wouldn't go through.

In replay to Mcvicar if you find that this is your bunch from Franklin and need info on the Timlick's that is a connection to my bunch if I can't help I found a distant cousin who can and how to find out more info on them. should that be of any help

Sorry my fingers betrayed me the other day, and I didn't catch it when I proof read. The posting should have read: I have a strange notation on a rather sketchy family tree which I believe was prepared about 1962. It states "Dan HINDLE (Wpg) Dairy Farm". Could have been connected to the surname of LATIMER, TATE or WOLSTENHOLME. Can anyone through any list on this for me? Gayle Mann in Manitoba

Could the person (Gord I think) look to see if there is anything on the family of Alexander Black and Jemima Johnston, who also lived in the Rural Municipality of Franklin? They were my great-great grandparents. I would especially like anything on the kids, but whatever is available. I doubt if he was considered a "Good Citizen", as his grand-daughters described him as "the meanest" s.o.b. in Canada. Thanks, Lynton Stewart -- Attend the "Gathering", in Santa Ana, CA, June 24-25, 2000. It is a FREE genealogy get together for researchers of virtually any early New England family and many Canadian families. There will be computers, hundreds of CD's, books, and databases available. Disneyland, the Queen Mary, and Universal City are close by. For further Information, visit the Footprints Web Page: http://members.castles.com/ftprints

Gord: Thank you very much for your reply and research. Every little piece of the puzzle helps. I will stash your e-mail in my McVicar In-box for future reference. Are you researching in this area too?
