Surnames: MILLER, GIESBRECHT Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mNC.2ACE/1744 Message Board Post: I'm looking for some background information on the West Lynne Immigrant Sheds on the Red River near Emerson, Manitoba. Can anybody recommend a book either about the immigrant aspect of Emerson/West Lynne's history, or about the Mennonites in the mid-1870's which mentions Emerson/West Lynne? I have a family story in my MILLER line that my husband's great-grandfather was "born in the immigration office in Emmerson". I'm pretty sure he was born in 1876 in Manitoba to Mennonite parents, so I'm hoping to peg it down to this likely location. Many thanks in advance, Donna Hrynkiw
