    3. Would someone fill me in about the land records???? I thought the Bureau of Land Management records search was free to everyone - (through blm.gov - not via ancestry.com). I lost my bookmarks on the other computer, but I was sure you could even get the graphic copy of the Land Patent. Did something change????

Finally, learned on 7/30/00 that my grandmother, Vernie Shively Bowles died in Polk Co.,MN in Jan. 1970. Was told that my father's birthplace was Pleasant Lake, ND but have had no luck locating the Bowles name in any ND searches yet. Any information is greatly appreciated. I do know that Vernie Shively Bowles had four children, Merle, David, Gerald (my father) and Richard and that they moved to Kentucky when my father was about 8. Also that he and his brother Richard were placed in an orphanage which I believe was in Northern Kentucky.

    3. Hi Sharon, Yes, as far as I know, my grandmother's sister, my Aunt Annie was the natural daughter of Goro and Anders. I visited her many times, she lived in Pangman SK where my grandparents lived, and I never heard anything other than that she was grandma's sister. She looked very much like my grandmother as well. Does the lady in Regina who you have been corresponding with know anything more about your Anne Marie? My dad remembers Uncle Krist, and he did not look after himself very well. I believe he was quite a drinker. He is supposedly to have spent his last few years with Ted Schwindt in Pangman. Ted has since died, but maybe his family would know something more. There are still Schwindts in Pangman. Pangman is so small, that I am sure if you address letters like you see them listed here, the postmaster would know the postal box number. There is a Chester Schwindt in Regina as well, I believe he is related to Ted.

    2. Ted, I think I can help you a lot. I believe your Thomas was a sibling to my great grand father's second wife, Elizabeth Ryan. They were from Lanark Co., Ontario and I have done a lot of research in that area. Here is a paragraph that I wrote about the family in my Sullivan family history: The Ryan Family---- James T. Sullivan's second wife was Elizabeth Ryan, a descendant of another pair of long time friends and neighbors of the Sullivans in Lanark County, Anthony Ryan and Elizabeth Cavanaugh. Anthony is listed among the earliest settlers to the Bathurst District. He arrived from County Wexford, Ireland in 1820 on a military ship and was listed on the passenger manifest as having a wife and one son under the age of 12. On March 16, 1825, Anthony Ryan was given a free grant of land on the west half of lot 6 on concession 7 in Lanark township. Anthony was classified as a military emigrant which means he came from Ireland to Canada aboard one of the troop ships that was in Britain to drop off discharged soldiers. Rather than return the ships empty to Canada British emigrants were offered free passage. Anthony and Elizabeth's children married into many familiar names in the area such as Hollinger, Hartney, Quinn, and Stafford. ------------------ Here is the descendancy chart. You will find Thomas as part of generation 3, son of John Ryan and Elizabeth Hollinger (another collateral line of mine).
