Looking for Stark family history? I am researching my husbands family. His grandfather Alexander Stark married to Janet O'neil immigrated with his family to Lunford, Alberta, Canada. We have no idea where Lunford, Alberta is as we cannot find it on a map at all. Alexander had a sister in the Barrhead area. We beleive her married name is Loitz. Alexander's parents were Maria Elizabeth Dekker and John Stark, immigrated to Lunford, Alberta, Canada from Alexanderdorf, Nalchek, Russia. Do these names sound familiar to anyone?

Barrhead and area cemeteries

NoraMcL — 20 Jan 2007 10:24:32 GMT

Can someone please tell me if the Paddle River Cemetery is located at or near the Barrhead Legion cemetery? I see from online info that the Paddle River Cemetery is called the "Poynter Memorial Cemetery at Paddle River". My father and I were up there a few years ago and he was convinced that his brother was buried in an older part of the cemetery that is adjacent to the Legion cemetery. I could see the Legion area with cenotaph and chain link fence from where we were standing.

IF that older adjacent cemetery is NOT the Poynter Memorial Cemetery, then what is it called and where IS the Poynter Cemetery/Paddle River cemetery?

Thanks from Nora

She was married to Humpus Per Nelson and they moved to Roseau county of Minnesota and lived in the area of communities named, Malung, Wanaska, and Salol. Her husband changed his last name from Nilson to Nelson when he emigrated and did not use his given name Humpus instead he was known to most as Per Nelson.

MACRAE, Alexander (Malcolm)

Ben MacRae — 22 Aug 2001 11:36:30 GMT

I have begun to look into my family history and have been led to Barrhead Alberta. My Great Grandfather was born about 1860 in Ontario and moved to Edmonton with his wife about 1890. He then moved with his wife and five(?) children to Barrhead where they began to farm. Alexander died about 1950 and apparently his youngest daughter, who is now 91 years old, is still alive and well at a nursing home near Barrhead.
This was his second family, I am unsure what happened to his first wife in Ontario but it was from this marriage that my Grandfather, Benson Alexander MacRae, was born. Sometime after that Alexander moved westward and started a new family.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated
