Boudreau Lafournaise Laboucane Petit-Couteau Descheneau

Again, I am appealing to anyone who might have information about my family. Dad's name was Laurence, his dad was Joseph, and his dad's dad was Francois. Francois homesteaded in Frog Lake Sask, and then moved to Alberta. He had a brother Pierre and I believe another one called George ?. Joseph was married to Veronique Labournaise (Laboucane) and they had three children.
Any body out there????

Knud and Marit Lyseng

Marcia Johnson — 12 Sep 2005 11:20:15 GMT

I would like to find out where this family settled after arriving in America in 1868. Before they and 3 sons, Erick, Knud and Albert moved to this county they were living in Big Stone County, Minnesota; however, have not found them in the 1870 and 1880 censuses. My great grandfather, Simen Olsen (all of these folks from Gausdel Parish, Oppland County, Norway) was traveling with them and family history states that Simen died shortly after arriving and is buried near Northfield. There is both a Northfield, Minnesota and a Northfield, Wisconsin so don't know which place. Just possibly it was where this family was living in 1870. Does anybody have any information about the Lysengs. Their names on the passenger list was Knud Ingebretsen Halvorslien and Marit Eriksdatter (where did the name Lyseng come from, I don't know. Or maybe Simen did not follow them after arriving in America - who knows. Thank you.

Seeking MILLER, MORTENSON, and MAYER descendants

wildbill134 — 16 Dec 2007 8:49:04 GMT

I am seeking to make contact with relatives who lived in the Camrose city and vicinity. Benjamin and Betsey Olson, their sons Carl and Emmanuel, and daughters Selma and Otilda, moved from Kansas to Duhamel, Alberta in 1898. Soon after that time Benjamin, Carl, Emmanuel and son-in- law Olaf Swanson (he married Selma) took out 160 acre Land Grants in the Dried Meat Lake area. I believe their address was "Heather Brae." Otilda married August Miller and I believe she died quite young. I do not know if they had children. I believe Carl and Emmanuel never married.

Olaf and Selma had three daughters, Irene, Myrtle, and Estelle. I do not know if Irene married. Myrtle married Ralph Mayer and I believe they had children, and Estelle married Harold Mortenson and I believe they had children. When Selma died in 1956 her obituary said she left 5 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.

The obituaries of Selma, and Carl said they were living in Camrose when they passed. I would sure like to find out more about the lives of my relatives in Alberta and hopefully be able to correspond with some of their living relatives. I have information on their ancestors back many generations. Help will be greatly appreciated. Bill Olson

Crouter

darryltaylor115 — 23 Aug 2006 5:41:32 GMT

Hi There. I'm new to this mailing list and I'm hoping that someone can help me. I'm trying to locate information or descendants of Jack Bert Crouter. He married Alma Kellerman here in Ontario, Canada in the late 1930's. They had one daughter, Sandra Jacqueline Crouter. He left the family around 1944-45 and moved somewhere near Edmonton, Alberta. He remarried out west and had 5 or 6 kids. I think he named his first daughter Sandra also. Jack lived in Belleville, Ontario before he moved out west. The only other thing I know about him is that his brother's name was Ray. I don't know if he had any other brothers or sisters. I know that Jack is desceased now but I don't know where he is buried.

I'd like to find his gravesite and family. Sandra Jacqueline Crouter is my mother and we would like to find her half-brothers and sisters.

Thank You in advance for your help.

Looking for descendants of Karl Peter Hamilton and Laurina Margreta Hammarton Flygare

csmedeiros — 6 Aug 2005 6:23:37 GMT

I have been researching the above mentioned surnames and have quite a bit of information so far, and am willing to share or exchange info with any "cousins" who may be interested. I am descended from Andrew and Matilda, through my grandfather Carl August Hammerberg, but would love to get in touch with cousins descended from Andrew's brother Peter or their sister Laurina Margreta.

Eric Andreas Hammarton (name changed to Andrew Hammarberg) and his wife Katrina Matilda Nilsson (known as Matilda) came to Canada from Sweden in 1907 with their two children. They
settled west of Donalda.

Matilda's sister Hulda Karolina Nilsson came to Canada with them. Hulda married Andrew's brother who was already living in the Duhammel/New Norway district. He was Karl Peter Hammarton (name changed to Hamilton): he came to the US with his first wife Marta (name changed to Myrtle; she died in 1906)in about 1894 and to the Duhamel district, Alberta Canada in 1897. Peter and Hulda had 4 children: Marie Helena Hamilton, Martha Christina Hamilton, Carl Anton Hamilton, and Bror Helge Hamilton.

Hulda died about 1914/1917 of childbirth, and Peter moved to Port Hammond, BC where he died in 1925.

Laurina Margreta Hammarton, who was the sister of Peter and Andrew, died in Sweden shortly after her husband Johan Jakob Johansson Flygare. Their 4 surviving children eventually came to Canada (Frida Johanna Flygar born 02 February 1885 (married Dr. P.A. MacDonald) , Olga Margreta Flygar born 06 April 1886 {I have been in touch with Olga's daughter}, Johan Konrad Flygar (known as Conrad) was born on 28 May 1888 , and Jernis Erenus Flygar born 05 April 1894). The two boys apparently changed their last names to Johnson. I would also love to be in touch with their descendants

I am searching for info on George Ruff from Bashaw. He and his wife owned some sort of store there. His wifes name was Theresa. I have a birth registration for their daughter Maria Magdelene Ruff born Jan 20 1937. His wife is burried in the cemetery in Bashaw beside their daughter Vera. Vera died as a baby and Theresa died within a few days of the baby. They also had another daughter whos name was I think Angela. After Theresa's death Marie was put in a hospital for the mentally ill ( Ponoka I think). George went down hill steadily and was eventually put in the hospital as well. Angela is now living in BC. Does anyone know anything of this family? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks

I'm in the midst of researching my Papineau family tree and have had some success, but these Papineau's lived in the same area of Alberta as my direct line but had no contact I believe after 1920-25.
I am looking for anything or anyone that could help me find my gr uncle Francis C. Papineau's descendants of today, as well as info for my family file.
This is what I know of them so far:
Francis C. Papineau mar. Emma Alice Keast (Ontario, Can./or Moline, Illinois, US), then moved from Moline, Illinois to Battle Lake in 1902. Upon getting there Francis ran a saw/logging mill from Battle Lake, they built a church (which is apparently still visible from the Highway, and Frank had been appointed foreman of building the first highway from Camrose to Ma-Me-O Beach.
They had been friends to the indian tribe living in the area of the time and had let them use their land for burials and ceremonies, etc. They had 7 children of which I know of 5 - George, Betty, Dennis, Keast & Dawn. It was said that Keast & Betty had settled and stayed in the area of Camrose.
Francis died in 1942 & Emma Alice died in 1958 and they are to be buried in the Camrose Cemetary.
If anyone has knowledge or info in regards to these Papineau's please contact me personally at the email addy provided.
Thanks in advance.
