I am looking for any decendants from the late Robert John Shaw of Peace River Alberta. Son of Arthur and Bertha Shaw. Robert apparently passed away on the rolling hills.

Isaac Peters b. 1904?

Sture_Torikka — 6 Apr 2008 10:40:34 GMT

I am looking for the decendents of a Ruupert Isaac Peters, b. 17 Jul 1904 in Wetaskiwin, Alberta. His father Frank and Grandfather Isaac, Homesteaded in Falun, Alberta from 1904 to 1926.
This is a Swede/Finn family who emigrated to Canada in the late 1890’s

Ruupert, who went by Isaac, is reported to have married a woman from the Pigeon Lake area around 1925-1930, and is reported to have lived in the Peace River Area.
There is also the possibility that they lost two children in a house fire.

Isaac contacted two of his brothers (Art and Leonard) in Vancouver during the 1950's by telephone. That was the last contact the family had.

I am a distant relative of Isaac Peters, and I am in contact with other relatives of his both here in Sweden as in the USA. If you know anything at all about this man, please contact me by e-mail.

Sincerely

Sture Torikka

de Winton or Winton

megpng — 26 Nov 2006 10:30:29 GMT

Hi, details I have on my great grandfather include that he is supposed to have been born at Peace River, near Winnipeg Canada. His name was Edward George de Winton (or sometimes just Winton) and he was born 22 April 1868. Ted is a bit of a mystery man. Family lore has it that he was born in Peace River, but he lists Liverpool England as his birthplace on his marriage certificate - then his death certificate, filled in by his daughter, shows Canada?? His date of birth changes along the way when he filled in his childrens birth registrations. Anyway, he is supposed to have left Canada at about the age of 8 and was apparently in London at some stage as he saw Queen Victoria on the balcony at the Palace. Then ... he is supposed to have stowed away on a ship bound for Australia when he was 14. That makes it about 1882/83. Don't know how correct these details are, so don't know if he stowed away from Canada or from England? No paperwork shows up for him between then and 1893 when he married. Realise this is a long shot, but I can't find any trace of his birth in England and was hoping someone may recognise the name. Regards, Megan

Peace River Country

Judyb111 — 24 Feb 2004 4:10:20 GMT

Could anyone give me information on what and where Peace River Country is? My grandfather, as a young man, traveled to Alberta Canada and lived there several years as a fur trapper and trader about 1910 or so. He returned back east about 1918. He left us with many many stories but we never really knew exactly where he was or what it was like there. He states he was "in Peace River Country, east branch of the Pine"
Would love to hear from someone from that area.

Peace River AB - 1965 - 1966

piperboy66 — 9 Dec 2004 8:13:13 GMT

I'm trying to find my birth-father. I have a feeling from my research that he worked in the Peace River area late 1965/early 1966 during the oil boom in that area. My birth mother was seconded from Edmonton by AGT to work there for a period of time.

Info from CAS Non-identifying Info: BFather was born about 1941 in Alberta, both his parents were swedish and farmers. Could have been from the Westlock/Barrhead/Morinville area (but not confirmed) - seemed to be a lot of information about him and his family that only someone who knew him for a while could have known. He was about 5'-10" and 195 lbs with blonde hair and blue eyes and "a pleasant outgoing personality". Worked in the oil exploration field, was trained as a pilot (commercial?), played guitar, and bowled. Have an idea they met bowling (either in Edmonton or in Peace River) which would explain my wierd fascination with watching bowling on tv. He had one sister who was a nurse.

Sketchy info I know, but if anyone has any info on Peace River oil exploration, or flying clubs near there and Edmonton, or the western oil exploration industry at that time I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,
Brian

An advocate of irrigation he proposed ppumping water from the Old Man River tio irrigate the Battersea and Iron Springs areas. This was not feasible as of 1906, but he felt that irrigation was an absolute necessity if people were going to continue to live here. He was instrumental in introducing irrigation; in fact so instrumental that the local people refered to him as the "Father of Irrigation". During the period of contruction of the L.N.I.D. he lived on the N.W. 2-11-21-4, looking after the materials for the constructioon crews. He sold his homestead to J.B.
