Surnames: Koontz/Krantz Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mNC.2ACE/2497 Message Board Post: My grandparents were living in Winnipeg between 1907-1915 and during that time had 4 of their 6 children either in Winnipeg or Pembina. My mother and the other siblings were told they were born in Pembina but there are no records of birth for any of them. But they lived in Winnipeg for some years, showing up in the directory on different streets including Aubitson Avenue. During their time in Winnipeg, my grandfather used the name of Krantz...in the U.S. it was Koontz which was the actual name. Where would I be able to find out what hospitals were available then for a woman to give birth? They were strict Roman Catholics, what schools would have been available. They lived in the town area...my grandfather was a newspaper economic reporter. Thank you...Victoria
