Clayton sorry I didn't get back to you I know of Guns from the Red River Sett. They were friends of my family back in and around the area of Dominion City I have them dated there a long time ago..I will have to check my books on the dates. let me know what you are looking for and I will send you alot of info on the Guns from that area. Toni at rraugust@mb.sympatico.ca The friends of the Gun family were the Jones, Ferguson , Timlick, families I belive that a Timlick married a Gun I will have to check.

I would like to thank everyone for the brief use of this system, however, it proved not to be an efficient source of information for me. I do not wish to recieve the constant reply of messages that bombard my address. Please remove my email address from your root web. Thank You.

Leeanne, The information I sent you came from the book that our district in Manitoba did. Tilston is in the R.M. of Albert district. Pierson , which was the other town close by was R. M. of Edward district. (R.M.-Rural Municipality) I also have access to the Melita one R.M.of Arthur..All the families that live there or had lived there sent in their family histories and these became quite large books. I'm sure a lot of other municipalites in Manitoba did them. It is a great source of information. As for the Nappers that was all there was.Sorry it didn't help . Coralynn in Quesnel

I am trying to trace my father last heard of in the Winnipeg area in the late 60's early 70's. Any help concerning him or any of his relatives would be of great use. Thanks Mitch

I am searching for any traces of a brother and sister last heard of in Winnipeg (Kildonan) in 1920: Margaret Clegg b. Liverpool England 1874 and Charles Clegg b. Liverpool 1878. Thanks Dave Dobson

It's taken a while but I finally made it to the archives here in BC. I have a copy of the Registration of Death certificate for Mary Gertrude Fawcett, Wilmer Monro Fawcett, Mary Fawcett & Robert Bennett Fawcett. These certificates are similar to death certificates as I understand it. Did you know about a Allison Fawcett? He is listed on the certificates as Robert's son and the informant on both Robert & Mary's death certificates. I am guessing you know about Margaret Elizabeth Little (nee Fawcett) too. If you are interested in these copies please let me know. Leeanne Victoria, BC ----- Original Message ----- From: Hugh C.

Hi Coralynn! Great to hear from you and I'm glad you had a great time on the Island. Yes, I did get your package and thanks. Unfortunately it didn't seem to connect yet but I will keep it if you don't mind in hopes that it will some day. I am intrigued as to the source of the information though. Can you tell me where it came from? Perhaps there are other Nappers in that area.

Hello In my continuing search for Edward SNELSON and Elizabeth Anne FRY who were married in Oaklake, Manitoba on 26 August, 1888, I have found a connection to a John Snelson in Australia. He has told me a small amount of information concerning this couple and their son Walter Edward SNELSON. Walter Edward SNELSON was born February 1903 in Canada and died July 6, 1973.in Canada Walter Edward SNELSON married Edith TOWSON at an unknown place and date. Edward SNELSON was born in Cheshire in 1859 and died 16 December 1953 in Canada Elizabeth Anne FRY was born in London, England in 1856 and died 21 June, 1943 in Canada. I have done very little research in Canada as I am first generation Canadian from England myself and most of my genealogical research has been in England. Could someone point me in the right direction to confirm the information given above. I would assume that these events all took place in Manitoba (as a first guess, anyhow). Edward Snelson was given Land Grants at NW and SW Section 6, Township 9, Range 25, W1. I have ordered the microfilm referring to this grant from the National Archives but have not received anything in three months. I hear this is not unusual. Can anyone tell me what information the film might give me. I have no idea. I am especially interested in a date. Will it tell me if he ever was granted the land? Any ideas on this gratefully received. Audrey in Ingersoll, Ontario.

Could SKS tell me what Presbyterian church Rev. Joseph Hogg was associated with in Winnipeg in the time frame 1897 to 1903? I am trying to locate the church my MCINNIS ancestors attended. Any help would be greatly appreciated. With thanks, Judi D Campbell River BC

Hi Mary! I cannot offer you much help, but the BRACKEN family is also an elusive part of my family. The family seemed to move around ALOT! I believe that the family is originally from Ireland, probably the North. My Great Grandmother was Elsie Sophronia BRACKEN, b. 1879 in St. Vincent Twp., Grey County, Ontario, one of 10 children of Christie Bracken and Mary Jane Clark, married Richard "Chum" BOWES. The Bracken family has been very difficult to keep track of - they seem to move back and forth to the US, "Out West" to Manitoba and Saskatchewan, some staying, some coming back, etc., etc.!! I have not been able to sort them out I'm afraid!! Also, there is a Manitoba Bracken in my husband's tree, but I don't know any specifics on him yet. From a family bible, I have the information that: George E. BRACKEN married Ellen Edith HILTON, 2 Mar 1904 in ? The Hiltons lived in Winnipeg, Headingly, St. Francis Xavier, and area and Ellen Edith died in 1926 in Neepawa, Manitoba. That's it! Hope it's of some help! Perhaps we can eventually help each other?

I have an old photo taken at Nicholls & Parkin, the "Popular Photography Parlors" at 434 Main Street, Winnipeg, identified as Rose BRACKEN. Photo is perhaps from the 1880s.

Hi Leanne, Did the NAPPER info help at all. I hope they are related or at least give you a lead. They where a very nice family someone you would like to be related to.

while in that neighborhood, I found about 18 of them on a search engine/phone list;Elmwood 88 Helspeler; Brookside 3001 Notredame. For old records the Bardal funeral home was there in 1919, may have diff owner now. Some of those in biz for long time can be helpful for family records if you know they died in Wnpg. Am on this track myself.
