My dad's parents were at Ashmont which is about 70 miles north of Edmonton. And Mom's parents were near Athabasca and then around the Peace River area.
I also am the keeper of the records. And my years of doing geneolgy has really been the best for finding all those records and stories. I'm lucky to have my Paternal Grandmothers scrapbook that she built herself and my Maternal Grandmothers book from the area she homesteaded in Alberta. She had included a handwritten note listing the full names of her Grandparents (my Great Great Grands).

My Maternal Grandma's book was for the Falher area where most if her brothers and their families ended up staying to this day.
Cool.
Sometimes our Beloved dead just appear and say nothing. At least that is so for me. But their very presence gives me a chance to say hello.
My artist sister is always happy with what I’m doing. If I’m lucky she stays a bit! She was brave and encourages me.
The weeks leading up to Samhain and for a bit after, when the veil between the living and departed is thin, is my most favourite time of the year!

I love all the genealogy work you've done JoAnne. Where did your Grandmother homestead?
