I am interested in anything that you may have on Fredrick Gerald Tibbs. I am compiling a history of BCs eccentrics, and characters. I believe that Fred may have been in this colorful group. Any help you could provide illuminating the past and retaining part of history would be greatly appreciated.

Hello to all Arnet' out there. My gradfather was August Arnet. His brothers were Sofus and (Jacob?)but I don't remeber a Martin. I was at the 100 year Family Reunion. My dad was the youngest of three children of August and Ida Paline, Astrid (Furrie)born 1926, Thelma (Thomas) born 1929, & Christian born 1931. I found documents that show that August originally arrived in Canada via Ellis Iland via Bergen, around 1911. My Mom has the family diary of either August or his dad , I read it once but forget the exact dates. My cousin has all the research that Aunt Astrid did, but I would have to contact her to see if she wants her info posted.

Am looking for anyone with a connection to Ruth ARNET who married George HINTON Aug 07, 1824 in Licking Co, OH. I don't know Ruth's maiden name or her first husband's given name. By 1850 George was living in Boone Co, IL with his daughter, Melinda, and her husband, Thomas Parks. I don't know if Ruth died or if George and Ruth got a divorce. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We probably crossed paths there. Roland Arnet may have some of the information you were looking for. I think he still lives in Tofino. It's too bad I didn't see your postings earlier.
Would you like his address?

Hi Leslee,
We were at that reunuion! Unfortunately I wasn't into researching the family history then. I was out in Tofino 2 weeks ago and made a visit at the cemetery and got some dates. I thought there would be more though. Earl's grandparents are in that cemetery but their headstones can't be read. There is only 2 of Sofus' children left. But we don't know so much about Sofus' siblings. Any info would be great.

My husband's grandfather was Sophus's brother Martin Arnet. There was a runion of the Arnet family, descendants of all the brothers, held in Tofino 10 years ago. There were family trees tracing all the descendants of each brother. I am not sure if the information is still available, but may be able to put you in touch with someone who may know.

My husband's mother is the daughter of Sofus Arnet. I do not have many dates for the Arnet family. I would like to know more. I have a poor photocopy of Martin Arnet's obituary. It would be great to have any information you have on the Arnet family. Let me know if you need something about Sofus' family. Marlene

I'm a descendant of those Arnets. My great grandfather, Martin Arnet came to Tofino from Norway and after settling, sent for three of his children, Arvid, Hildeberg, and my grandfather, Johan. Aside from family history, I have access to some limited-print books on the history of Tofino families. What do you want to know? Please feel free to email me directly and I'll try and find info for you.

Re: Will- James H. Arnett -1866

Linda, I have been searching for a James Arnett who is supposed to have left Monongalia County, (West) Virginia before the 1850 census at least for Highland County, OH. Since this James H. Arnett's children underage, he might be too young for the James Arnett I am searching. My James was born by 1820 or earlier and was the son of James and Elizabeth (Barker) Arnett. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
