Malcolm McKinley

I am doing research on the history of Leduc City. We are trying to establish when Malcolm McKinley filed his homestead in the Ft Sask area (Lavoy). We believe it was in 1875. The reason for this inquiry is that Malcolm was the first telegraph manager for the station built just south of Edmonton. It was built by the Dominion Telegraph Co and the station was used by those living in the Edmonton area. One of Malcolm's responsibilities was to name the station. He decided to name it after his first customer. Sometime after that Father Leduc walked in to send a telegram to Bishop Grandin and the rest is history. We are trying to tie down the actual date and if possible the contents of the telegram. We believe it happened in 1876 as the office went on line in January of 1876. Any help regarding this matter will be deeply appreciated.

McQueen/Mohr

Hi I am looking for information regarding our father. My mother Margaret G McQueen was born in Lamont, 1937 and has passed, never disclosing any details on our father. She had 3 children, (1961, 1962, and 1964 born in Edmonton). This would be late to be having children so I/we feel that she may have had others prior to that. Her parents are George Albert McQueen and Cristena (Mohr) McQueen. Both from the Lamont/Vegrevaille area.

Birth mother

I am looking to see if anyone knew of a Gloria Christina Fraser born around 1926 in Calgary. She was my birth mother and wrote in my papers that she was also adopted. I have done my dna and I believe she was the daughter of Nellie Taylor born 1907 to Ernest and Clara Taylor. Nellie was part native and a housekeeper for Thomas Malin in 1926 in Camrose. Gloria was adopted or given to John Anderson Fraser. She said she left that home when she was 12. She served in the CWAC in Edmonton in 1945-46 then left to the USA where she got pregnant with me. I was born in SLC, Utah in 1947 then put up for adoption 18 months later in Calgary. I have found two half siblings that were born before me in 1945 and 1945 and were placed for adoptions as infants. We are all three trying to find more information about our birth mother. I would love a picture of her. I'm sure she's deceased but hoping someone may have known of her. She was about 5'3, brown eyes, and brown hair and was said to be quite beautiful and stylish. She was a nanny in Calgary for the Lough family during 1944-46. Thank you

Hello, Jay Ronald Deley! I am part of the Ludwig/Skitsko/Woitas family tree. I have seen on geni.com that you have added some information about my great great grandfather onto our family tree both on my grandfather\\\'s and grandmother\\\'s side - I would like to know how you have come to know so much about our family tree and how you are related as it seems Tekla Plachner was a relative of yours and was married to my great great grandpa. She would have been 150 years old as of today and If you are open to providing more information I am happy to hear from you! I am looking for more information into both sides of my family and it seems you also know of Jacob Ludwig or have been doing some digging yourself. I would love to help. Please contact me.

Ludwig/Ludwikiw/Kozdrowsky Ancestry

Curious individual looking into her grandfather\'s family tree to see if we have any other relatives on his side that may be living yet. My grandfather goes by Marion last name Ludwig. His brothers are Tom Ludwig of Norway and Edward Ludwig of Tofield (deceased). His sister was Genevieve Ludwig (deceased). His father\'s name was Jacob Ludwig. This name is very hard to trace as Jacobs father is Austrian and changed his name from \"Kozdrowsky/Kozdrowsky\" to Ludwikiw and then again to Ludwig after the Austrian war in 1800s . Just looking for information into relatives. Anything helps thank you.

LUND, ALBERTA, CALGARY, 1923 Marriage, 1905 to 1923 - searching for my Grandmother and her family

LUND, ALBERTA, CALGARY, 1923, 1911 to 1923 Helen Mary Lund (aged 18 years, Roman Catholic) ) married Arthur Le Gros (aged 24 years, Church of England) in Alberta, in St Mary's Rectory, Calgary, on 26th Feb 1923, I am trying to find out more about my Grandmother and her family in Canada from the time she was born until she left Canada, soon after her marriage to travel to Jersey in 1923. On her marriage certificate her father is named as John Lund (from Ireland, Cork) and her mother is named as Margaret Smith (surname before marriage), John did not sign the marriage certificate, Margaret did sign, others who signed the marriage certificate were Arthur Le Gros, Helen Lund, and Arthur Lund, who I believe was Helen's brother, and George Fraser. Helen was either born possibly in Ireland (although my mother thought Edinburgh (?)) before the family emigrated or in Canada. A further mystery is that on Helen Mary Lund's 1931 death certificate held in the Jersey, Channel Isles Registry Office, she is recorded as Helen Mary Dillon not Le Gros (her married name) or Lund (her maiden name).The Jersey Registrar has stated that the record is definitely that of Helen Mary Lund due to the other details recorded at the time, and thinks that Dillon may have been written in error. Helen Mary died aged 26 years of Scarlet Fever. From the 1911 Irish Census, I have found that her father was possibly (?) a gamekeeper in Dunblane, Ireland and her mother's full name was Margaret Ellen Lund ( a copy of the full 1911 census details are given below this message, however Helen is not recorded on this census). As mentioned above, Helen Mary Lund died in Jersey at the age of 26 years when my mother Ethel Sarah Le Gros was just 7 years old. I am trying to find out more about Helen for myself and my mother who is now 94 years old - she knows very little about her mother and has never seen a photograph of her. I would like to find out more about my Grandmother to share these details with my mother and my family. If anybody can help me with this research I would be very grateful. Many thanks for reading and considering this query. Best Wishes Pamela Black (maiden name Viney, daughter of Ethel Sarah Viney 94 years-old (maiden name Le Gros) Age Sex Relation to head Religion Lund John 50 Male Head of Family Church of England Lund Margaret Ellen 46 Female Wife Church of England Lund Arthur 12 Male Son Church of England Lund Harry 10 Male Son Church of England Lund John 7 Male Son Church of England Lund Mabel Margaret 5 Female Daughter Church of England

I am assuming Calgary since I was born there (in 1964) and my parents married there. As birth sibling I received non-identifying info. from the Albert government. My mother passed away in 2002 and I am not able to receive any identifying info. unless I am a parent of the adopted child.

Adoptive Mother was Scottish and had a Grade 10 + nursing aide diploma and adoptive Father was Scottish/Welsh and had a Grade 8 education and was a construction foreman. My brother was described as a handsome boy with brown hair, brown eyes and a medium complexion. Good natured. I live in Surrey, BC (suburb of Vancouver).
