A few years ago (1996) a book on the Demers family history was published. Relatives of mine did extensive research compiling info for the book. I have a copy (hard cover). You might want to contact the persons who put it together: Edith Demers, RR #3, Fort Saskatchchewan, Alberta, Canada T8L2N9, or Annette Evans, 302 Woodvale Road W., 462-5949 (I'm not sure if this is a phone number, might be), Edmonton, Alberta, T5L1P6. My maiden name was DeMars, father Theodore, grandfather Alex. If you need any more info, please let me know. I accidentally ran across this site -- didn't know it existed. Good luck to all. Judy
