Colleen There is/was a AimeCarriere/Carrier living just east of Dominion City as of 1985 when I was last visiting there. Winnifred Nisely's daughter, Hazel, married Aime Carriere/Carrier of St. Malo in 1961. Aime is the son of William Carriere. Winnifred Nisely (nee Hamblin) was a young girl (elementary school age) when her father Fred purchased my great grandfather's farm in 1920. I really don't have an address but expect that a box number in Dominion City would get you there. The Canada 411 directory might help too.
