Hi everyone,

 

I’m in the market for a good flatbed scanner.  Does anyone have any recommendations?  I have a good printer, so don’t want to get a combination printer/scanner/copier.

 

Thanks

In transcribing the St. Mary's Cemetery we have come across a  couple of names
that I believe to be possibly Yugoslavic
or Croatian or ???  I was wondering if possibly anyone subscribing to Distgen
would be willing to make a stab at
translating the monument?   These are the names from the burial records but I am
unable to say for sure if Barbara is
the other name on the monument.  I can forward a .jpg showing the names.

Edocs, Barbara
Edocs, Ferencne

Thank you.

	 Hi Carol:

	 The names look Hungarian to me. Send me the pictures and I'll have a look
at them.
	 Hungarians being mostly Catholic, most of them were buried in St. Mary's. I
have may friends buried there.

Regards,

	 Joseph Szikora

Greetings:

I plucked the announcement of this scholarship off a bulletin board in the
Fredericton public library (yes, I put it back!)....mostly because of my father,
Stuart Church. He and my mother still live in the small Alberta town in which I
grew up (brothers and their families too). In his eighties, with some typing and
editing assistance from me, he has written, over four years, a family history
working from old postcards and letters, with some interviewing of family
members. He has traced things back five generations in Canada. I think that we
have reached the final rough draft of his creation, and I am scanning in photos
that he has selected from across the years. We are working towards some kind of
document that can be circulated to family.

I see that your scholarship is for formal study. I do not believe that my father
would undertake that.... and is perhaps past the point where it would have
helped. But we could use assistance with production. And I suspect that I will
"roll" his work here into a larger book project of my own. It will connect it
with some work I did with my mother, Lorraine, regarding her work as a small
town dressmaker (featured as a museum exhibit called "Fabrications: Stitching
Ourselves Together" a few years back.)

Can you suggest places where I could apply for assistance in the completion of
this labour of love? It has been a private effort so far.

Thank you for your advice.

Hi,
I am planning to order the Scottish Monumental Inscriptions Pre-1855
Renfrewshire Vol. 2 from the Scottish Genealogical Society.  Before I
do....does anyone out there have this fiche that could do a look-up?
Probably a long shot but thought I would ask anyway. I will include the list
of cemeteries below in case anyone else is interested.....if I get the fiche
then I can do look-ups!  Or leave it at the library so people can come in
and use it.  Anyway, send replies to me at misunism@...
Thanks,
Linda Murray

This book may be of interest to some of you.

Mabel Kiessling



This is a book that many genealogists will relate to.   It is not merely the
story of a family; it is the story also of the world they lived in and the
experiences they encountered. Many chapters in the book take place in
Central Alberta.  The book was reviewed by Angus A. Glass in the March 2007
edition of the British Columbia Genealogist.



"This was a great book to read: it had all the elements of a novel..

The family story is set against the backdrop of world, United States and
Canadian affairs.

.With some luck and great research she has produced a book that reads well
and does not get bogged down in the minutiae of genealogy.  Her story will
probably strike a chord with many who are interested in genealogy.
Enjoy!!!"



Available at public libraries, and

In Alberta the book is available at:

             Greenwoods in Edmonton

             McNally Robinson in Calgary

             Glenbow Museum Gift Shop in Calgary

             Pop'lar Books in Camrose



The research of the book was a fascinating adventure and the whole
experience of writing it was a great pleasure.  Readers seem to be enjoying
it as well, if you read some of the comments.  For further information
please see my website where you may read some sample chapters.

Hello Everyone:
Looking for volunteers to transcribe and photograph Burnsland Cemetery

First date for working in the Cemetery is Tuesday, Aug 28
Time:   10  am - 2:30 pm    more or less
Place:   Burnsland Cemetery,  off Spiller Road - Turn R, opposite
Union Cemetery entrance.  Meet at end of laneway,  close to Section B.
Items to bring:  pencils, pens, stool or chair, camera, mosquito spray.

The weather seems to be iffy, but 2/3 of these monuments are
uprights,  and 1/3 flat markers.    If it is raining,  the outing is
cancelled.   and I shall rebook another date

If you have time,  let me know if you are coming.

Thanks and see you there

Heather - Chair of Projects

Hi All:
	 Oops,  guess my directions to Burnsland were somewhat lacking.  If
one is going North on Spiller Road, Turn East or Right onto Cemetery
Rd and Section B of Burnsland Cem will be on your right side.  Go to
first corner, turn the corner and we will meet in that general area.

Thus if one is travelling Southward on Spiller Road,  Turn East or
Left onto Cemetery Road, turn the first corner and we shall meet in
that general area.

Hope the Sun continues to shine most of tomorrow

Heather

Hello all,

It's time again for announcements for the Breeze. Please send me any
announcements you want to place in the Breeze by Tuesday Sept. 4th.
Thanks.
