Herman C. Salmon, Sibbald & Acadia Valley, Alberta

CGHOFFM — 2009-11-06 22:07:49Z

I'm looking for info on the family of Herman C. Salmon, b. Sept. 1885 in Indiana, USA. His wife, Elizabeth, last name unknown, died August 20, 1944. What was her maiden name?

They had daughters Lois and Doris. Doris married a Mr. Peacock.

There's apparently a bio on Herman -- SALMON, Herman ; Times to Remember; Acadia. Could someone send this to me?

Thank you for any tips.

Re: Levai, Churi, Katrensky families

2005-04-28 16:12:29Z

Carole,

Thanks for the message. I remember the name John Bunyak from my childhood on the family homestead, which was about four miles from the Bunyak homestead, where our common ancestor (my great-grandmother) Elizabeth (Churi/Csuri) Levai lived for a while according to the 1901 Canada Census. That makes us second cousins, twice removed, I think.

No, I have never been to a Montana reunion, but I did meet many of that family of second cousins at the Kaposvar Centennial in 1986, where our cousin Frank Dloughy and his wife MIldred had a party for all the clan. They all reminded me of my grandmother Susanna (Levai) Katrensky).

I shall be in Europe on vacation from 14 May to 14 June. It is possible I may be in Saskatchewan in July, close to Montana. Please let me know the details of the reunion, as there is a remote chance I might be able to drop in. Us retired folk have lots of travel time!

Regards and thanks

Re: Levai, Churi, Katrensky families

Hi Travis,

Thanks for making contact. Your grandfather Adelard Katrensky was my father's younger brother, making your father my first cousin and you my first cousin once removed. I remember meeting uncle Adelard in Saskatoon in the 19 50's when I was in my early teens. At that time he had children, but that was probably before the birth of your father. Your uncles Ken and Ted Katrensky live in Vancouver, as I do. I've met Ken and one of your aunts from Calgary.

My sister and I have collected a lot of Katrensky family history and photos. If you want more information, please contact me by e-mail.

Regards
Jerome

LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON ARCHIBALD GILMOUR WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFOR THANKS

LOOKING FOR MAUREEN SMITH

2002-01-26 02:45:59Z

I am writing on behalf of Jeanette Smith - who is looking for her long-lost mother and sister. Her mother’s name is Helena Florence Smith, daughter of Mrs. F. K. Smith. Her sister’s name is Maureen Smith. Helena Florence Smith worked in the army canteen at Camp Aldershot during WWII. She met and fell in love with Romeo “Butch” Lauzon who was a Canadian soldier. Helena got pregnant and had Jeanette on Jan 30/46 in Surrey South-Western sub district of Guildford Rural West County, U.K. Last known address in 1946-47 for Helena, Maureen and Jeanette: 12 Wyke Ave., Ash, Surrey, U.K.
On Aug 2/47, when Helena was 20 yrs old and her daughters were aged approx 3 years old (Maureen) and 18 months, (Jeanette), they sailed from Southampton on the S.S. Aquitania to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and then on to Cornwall, Ontario where Romeo lived. Here, due to circumstances that Jeanette knows nothing about, her mother left her with her birth father Romeo Lauzon and his parents Isidore and Clara. They stayed about 2 weeks and then Helena and Maureen went back to the UK and Jeanette never heard anything again. Her father’s family would not talk about it and now they can’t as they have passed on. Jeanette is quite anxious to find her mother and her sister.
If you know of Helena or Maureen, then I really would appreciate hearing from you.My e-mail address is: g.vout@3web.net. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
