Hi,
I believe that I may be related - my grandfather's name was Bernard - he came to Sask. (Perry, south of Regina) from Rice County, MN. My father is not alive, but my mother knows that there were some relatives (I think my dad's cousins) that farmed at Govan. I'm just starting to research my family tree so it would be good to keep in touch. I grew up in Sask. but have since moved to Vancouver. I think your side of the family has relatives in this area.
Take care,
Martin McGeough, Vancouver, BC
