The old Grace, Hospital was in the west end of the city, and the Victoria Hosp was on the corner of River and Osborne, it is now in Ft. Garry. You may want to find out about Middle Church Home, and the Selkirk Hospital.MOst times people were funneled through both of these places, when they had any type of mental dissorders. I am Sher McDonald, I live in BC now, but am searching for Wpg, families, Scrimes,Siddle,Weeks,anyone with any info re these families I would like to hear from .Thanks a lot. Sher

Sher, thanks for the help!! It gives some new avenues to try. Roberta

Maralyn you will find the metis info that you are looking for in Larry's post that is the one that I found also and couldn't find last night. This time I will make sure to mark it. Toni

I am passing this URL off to the list. The Minnesota Territory (Pembina) was a main core for the METIS settlement and I believe many of you might find what you are looking for. Type in the address and go into Personal records. Good luk to all+ACE- http://www.mnhs.org/library/index.html Jan

Seeking any info on FAWCETT Wilmer M, worked for Underwood Typewriter Co. in 19teens (after 1913?) and FRASER William, member of Winnipeg Police Dept. Any tips how to proceed? THANKS! -- Wilmer Fawcett e-mail: Viveza@telus.net

Looking for information on members of Gunn family who were settlers in Red River Settlement. John 'Cheney' Gunn (pensioner of HM's 78th Regiment) came to Red River about 1823, married to Ann Sutherland and raised 14 children. Names of children are Margaret, Isabella, William, Henrietta, Catherine, Helen, Alexander, Johanna, Ann, Donald, Jerimiah, Mary Ann, and Robert. I am a descendant of Donald but need information regarding John before coming to Red River - and also his father, Alexander (m. Christine Gordon) from Scotland. I have records of most of the descendants of John - if anyone requires this info. Thanks to all Gunners Brent Clayton - Winnipeg

Thanks to all who have recommended sites. My main interest is in the Swiss who settled in the Selkirk Colony at the Red River Settlement in 1821 and the soldiers (de Meuron and de Watteville regiments) who came in 1817 to protect the settlers. They all left the Colony after the flood in June 1826 for the American Midwest, Upper Canada, and Montreal. I am interested in reading about the people they interacted with while they were there. Since many families wintered in Pembina, they traded with the Metis and hunters for provisions. I would like to know as much as I can about life and conditions there between 1821-1826. Any stories passed along by families about the Swiss while they were in the Colony would be appreciated. A list of the names of the Swiss and de Meurons is included under "Selkirk Project" on my website at: http://www.feefhs.org/ch/tsc/frg-tsc.html Sincerely, Maralyn A.

I'm wondering if you wrote to the Brandon Mental Hospital (I think they used to call it that). They might know the history of mental hospitals of that time.

Hi List Members; I thought the answer to this was so obvious I neglected to answer. The Grace Hospital formerly located someplace west of Wolsley than sometime after the war ca 1960's a new one was built on the west side of WPG. Don't know the dates of when the move was made but I remember in 1947 taking a nurse home there to the old one one Saturday night. Hugh

Since hospitals are being discussed, I thought this would be a good time to ask if anyone knows which hospitals were in existence around 1900? My gggrandmother was committed about that time in Winnipeg where she lived out the rest of her life. No one seems to know the name of the place as this was not discussed very openly in the family. She died sometime after 1920..... Did the Salvation Army hospital care for mentally ill patients long-term? Can anyone give me the names of the hospitals in Winnipeg around 1900? Could really use the help on this! Best Regards, Roberta in Vancouver, WA, US

Will do lookups for names of towns, cities in MB for those in need of info.

Don..one of my books shows the Holy Trinity church,on Donald and Graham built 1884.Also the very early Holy Trinity but built 1946. St. Mary's Cath. started 1880 on Lakeview Sq. orig log church, was ist RC west of Red River started 1869.New St. Boniface cathedral founded 1818built 1908 burnt 1968. You might check the website for the Catholic lists......www.home.att.net/~Local-Catholic/ or use search engine for Can MB church list. The other book I use shows Apostolic church in Can. hdqrtrs 27 Castlefield Ave. Tor Ont M4R 1G3 this book also shows RC church in Wnpg 1915 and St Boniface 1871 but no othe rinfo. this is old book so the info may not be accurate.

Leeanne: I couldn't find any record of a SA Hosp in Wnpg but they did have a SA Citadel on Rupert St. built 1900 replacing earlier quarters on same street. 1894 they opened a shelter for homeless men same st. You might try their website...www.salvationarmy.ca/. The only hosp with a St. was St.Bonifice in St.Boniface, now part of Wnpg. I was born there many yrs ago! Now I spend a lot of time in Vic BC also. There were other entities with a St....name but not hosp.

Hi, I am new to the list and need help desperately! I'm looking for parents of Joseph Roy dit Desjardin(s) est. b. 1834-1834 in Canada. Hemoved to U.S.A. and married Pauline (Appoline) Hudon Beaulieu in Bangor Maine 1857. Can anyone help???!!! Thanks! Debby DBYJean@aol.com

Looking for information on a Dan M. Johnston, of Winnipeg Man. circa 1926 who acted as a sponsor for farm workers from Europe (mainly BANAT Region of Hungary).He would meet them at the port of entry and presumable ship them out west to their Homestead locations----mainly in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
