Paklin or possibly Paquelin

Michelle Bergeson — 11 Sep 2004 3:33:42 GMT

I am looking for anyone who might know more about this name. The family immigrated from France in the late 1800's . I believe the name was originally spelled Paquelin and was changed to Paklin upon the move. The mother stayed in Wetaskawin but one of the sons, Eugene Irene Paklin, moved to the Black Hills in South Dakota around 1900. He may have had a sister named Martha. If anyone can help in this quest it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Looking for Marr ancestors in Millet area of Alberta

kmarr66 — 30 Apr 2005 1:23:30 GMT

Looking for information on the ancestors of George Howard Marr from Millet Alberta as well as decendants. Howard was a cousin who married my grandmother (also named Marr ) from Ontario in 1975. Howard was born in Ontario in 1891but moved to Alberta as a boy and died in 1981. I have lots of info on the Ontario Marrs to share. - Jim

Schumann,Freimann,Johnston,Warnke,Grabowsky,Forth, Schneider,Dewald

gardencreator — 19 Sep 2007 2:55:31 GMT

I have just finished reading 15 years of Christmas letters that my aunt received from her cousin (Isabel Johston) living in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada. My grandmother (born Minna Schumann) and this cousin's mother (Ida Schumann Johnston) were sisters. Several times in these letters the Isabel referred to two women (Bertha Fee and Emma Warnke Janzen), saying, "their mother(s) and our mother were cousins. Never once, does she mention the maiden name of this mother.
Bertha Fee's obituary from 1988 was included but with no reference to parents names. However there are two brothers, Adolph and Otto Schuman. She had a sister who was Lydia Grabowsky. There is also three nieces, Myrtle Forth, Doris (Henry) Schneider and Hilda (John) Dewald. Children of these nieces were pallbearers.
The mother of Emma Warnke was Bertha with no maiden name. She had a daughter Matilda Mossip. I am search for the maiden name of the mothers of these women. Additionally, the grandmother (Caroline Freimann) of my grandmother, Minna, brought her and her siblings to Wetaskiwin from Prussia in 1902, after the death of the last parent. My grandmother was 9 years old at that time and remembered little of her heritage. I found Caroline on the 1906 census, living with her son, Fredrick Freimann, in that area but don't know when she died except it was before 1911.

Looking for info about Sven Eklund, wife Gladys, children Edward and Shirley

Brother Erik later went back to Sweden, where he died in 1962. Sven emigrated from Lingbo, Gävleborgs län, Hälsingland, Sweden. He had (at least) 9 siblings including Erik.

Any information greatly appreciated! Thanks. //Monica

FRANK C. CHIDDY, Wetaskiwin 1935

EBromley6888 — 30 Aug 2002 5:16:55 GMT

I'm looking for information about Frank Clifford CHIDDY who was born in Easton, Hampshire in December 1881. He died in Wetaskiwin on the 21st of November, 1935 and is buried in the Old Cemetery. Frank worked as an engineer for the CPR. Frank's brother, Cecil Wixon CHIDDY, lived with my grandparents in Kamloops, BC in the years before WWI. Cecil was born in Easton on May 31, 1883 and died at Festubert, Belgium on May 24, 1915. My grandfather, Hugh Godfrey Statham, was Cecil and Frank's cousin - Hugh's mother was a Chiddy. There was also a sister, Dorothy Ruth Chiddy, who married Gordon Harvey and lived in Burnaby, BC. I recently took copies of Frank's obituary while on a trip to Edmonton. It mentions a daughter, Norma, and his wife. Her name was Alma Hansen and she was born in Sweden. She died in 1968. I have been told that Norma married John MacEachern and lived in Wetaskiwin but that she died a few years ago.

I'd really like to find out when the family members emigrated. In addition to the three Chiddys and Grandpa, two of Grandpa's sisters, Sophy Marguerite and Grace Beatrice, came to Canada. My best guess is that they arrived within a few years of each other between 1907 and 1911 but I don't know for sure.

Cemetery look-up, please

Mattis Strom

Georgina — 5 Jul 2006 7:26:40 GMT

I am hoping to find someone who may know something about relatives of mine who came to Canada in 1907. They may have first settled in Saskatchewan. On the ship list their names were Mattis Strom, wife Kristina, dau. Amelia, dau. Anna and da. Karin. Kristina had a cousin in Alberta (west of Wetaskiwin), therefore I am wondering if they later moved to Alberta. I know I'm grasping at straws but have no where else to turn except to these message boards, with the hope that someone who knew them may see the query.

Many thanks!

Search for Death Certificate or Death Details

jan1787 — 14 Oct 2004 4:29:18 GMT

I am trying to trace the Death Certificate of my Maternal Grandfather - JOHN PEARSELL JOHNSON, discharged from 151st O.Bn in Calgary on Feb 7th 1919. My mother Doris Alvira Johnson was born in Wetaskiwin on the 17th July 1920, and shortly after this her father John P Johnson was killed. I believe it was something to do with the prohibition laws at that time and a bullet! My grandmother Rose returned to England with my mother shortly after, whatever happened never to be told until a date too late. I have tried a researcher but have found nothing, any clues would be gratefully accepted in my search.

Shaw of Wetaskiwin

eilidhsloan — 20 Apr 2006 2:43:47 GMT

I am looking for information regarding my ggUncle Duncan Shaw originally from Glasgow Scotland. Duncan Shaw is my late mothers (Hazel McLintock nee Shaw born 13th March 1934 died 10th October 1973) Uncle. His brother is my late grandfather George Shaw (born 11th June 1929 in Glasgow died June 1987) and his sister-in-law my late grandmother (Mary Torrance Shaw nee Crawford born 1st October 1900 died May 1974). I have recently found a number of photographs which show Duncan and "Sadie" 14th October 1934 and my the looks of these photographs this could have been their wedding. I have also found photos of Eva Dick and her sons Kenneth aged 5 and George aged 3 and Bobby at a very early age. I have also found a photograph of Duncan in his Army uniform but can't make out which regiment although the hat appears to be a Scottish regiment. I would think that Duncan would have joined the Army in Wetaskiwin before 1939 as their is a photo of my mum and Duncan at her home when she was around 3/4 years old. I know from your Canada 411 that there are a number of Shaw's in Wetaskiwin but also in Millet. I believe that Duncan would have been farming as there is a small photo of what appears to be farm buildings close to the Beaver River where they went swimming (as commented on the back of one of the photographs). Any information would be greatly appreciated as my sister, my brother and myself would love to know.
Any reply awaited with hope.

I was browsing the rootsweb site and entered my Swedish grandfather's original surname Hammarton to see if anything came up. His name was Karl Petter Hammarton and when he emigrated to Canada, he changed his name to Carl Peter Hamilton. His brother changed his last name to Hammarberg. The two brothers married sisters (I believe their surname was Nilson) and lived in the Wetaskiwin area. My mother has done some family research and has gone back a few generations, so might have some useful information.

ERICKSON, Emma; 1918+

Gabriella Hammarstrom Good — 20 May 1999 12:00:00 GMT

Help please!!! I am looking for EMMA ERICKSON or her children, if she had any. They would be cousins of mine.
Emma is the daughter of Emil and Emelia (Tunberg) Erickson who emigrated to this area from Sweden in 1903 or 1904. Emma was the only child, and was born by 1912.

I have a letter from Emil to my grandmother, Edla (Wiklund) Tunberg Wiklund, from 1912, stating that they were in Donalda. Then I found homesteading records which moves them to Wetaskiwin by 1918.

I have the family records from Sweden (I just moved to the US), and will share the family tree with relatives. I hope someone can help me!!!

THANKS!

dragonfly_ridingonwind — 16 Dec 2002 10:20:47 GMT

I was born on the 4th of october 1982 in the town of Barrhead and lovingly given up for adoption.
At birth I was given the name : Crystal Anne Potts.

My mother was 28 yrs. of age at the time of my birth also she was metis from origin.
I have 2 sisters and 2 brothers of which one brother is also given up for adoption.

It is very well possible that my mother did not live in Barrhead but in the surroundings.

I hope an angel will come my way and help me in my search for my family,

Crystal Ann

Laprise or any relation who gave up girl for adoption 1965.

Shelley Proude — 30 Sep 2002 12:54:21 GMT

I was born April 6,1965. My birth name was Michelle Margaret Laprise. My mother was 19 and my father was 24.
My mother had 3 brothers and two sisters. My father had one brother who was a deaf mute and one sister. He was an elevator agent and my mother was a supervisor in a school residence. They supposedly knew each other for 3 years. I was the first born to my mother.
I would like to hear from anyone who may know them or knew them. I don't know their names. I am assuming that because they were unmarried, the Surname Laprise is that of my mother.
Please, although not a health issue, it is important that I learn about them.
Thanx.

BURGAR (early Wetaskiwin settlers)

Doreen — 22 Jul 2001 8:52:56 GMT

The Burgar family came to Wetaskiwin in 1900, they appeared
in the census, and I have found land documents in their names. Frederick Burgar, his wife Eliza, sons Hiram and Hugh, and daughter Catherine all came together from Vienna Ontario. My father, named Hiram as well, was only one year old at the time.
Catherine is believed to have taught school in Wetaskiwin before she moved to Edmonton to teach at the McKay School.
There, she became principal of the school, which was no easy feat in those days.
Any additional data would be appreciated.
