Hello Bette I am looking for information on my great uncle, Nicolas Pirotton. He owned a monument (stone) business, and apparently was commissioned for the construction of the Winnipeg Cenataph. He died about 1942, but lived in Winnipeg from about 1907 - his family was originally from Belgium. I remember hearing that his funeral was a huge event in Winnipeg. Do you have any information on this man in your book? Best regards, John JPS2000@Netcom.ca -----Original Message----- From: Bette Kosmolak [mailto:kosmo@pacificcoast.net] Sent: March 1, 2000 7:55 PM To: CAN-MB-WINNIPEG-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MBWINNIPEG-L] Re:George Bryce Thanks - that's him. I'll contact him because I now have the book out of the library. Which reminds me, if you think your Manitoba ancestor was 'prominent' (regardless of town or place) in about 1880-1910, drop me a line and I'll look to see if your family is listed in this book while I have if for the next week or two. Bryce chronicled about 200 people from Manitoba who were 'movers & shakers" of the time. Bette >Hello Bette in BC, >I believe the person you are looking for is Gil regarding the George Bryce >book.
