Looking For Family

Sandy Turley — 1 Apr 2005 5:14:59 GMT

I was born Bradford Lee Ferguson on October 21, 1952; in the Calgary General Hospital. My Mother, Elsie Belle Ferguson (born in Nobleford, Alberta) & Father, Norman Albert Lindwall (born in Lethbridge, Alberta) were not married but lived together for 12 years prior to my birth. They were 32 years old, which means they were born around 1920. My mother, of English decent, had 2 other childen older than myself, One is 7 years older and the other is 10 years older than myself.She was a housekeeper and she had 2 sisters and 1 brother who we believe was a firefighter. My father, who was also adopted, was of Danish decent and had 1 brother. He was musically inclined and was a construction worker/painter by trade.
At the time of my birth, Elsie Ferguson lived at Suite 503, Victoria Aparpatments in Calgary. She lived there from Sept 1948 to March/52 She lived also for a short time in Barones, then moved back to Calgary (442 - 3rd Ave, East in Calgary), then moved to Delacour Alberta then to 229 - 25th Ave. NE Calgary and after that for a short time in Airdrie. She lived at all of the above for no more than a month or two at any time.
My birth Father Norman Albert Dendwall lived at 3816 - 15St. SE. in Calgary at the time of my birth. According to the information I have, both parents were Morman at the time of my birth. My birth father was in the Army for 6 months.

I am 52 years old and would very much like to find any birth family. If anyone can help me or give me any ideas as to where to look, please email me at pentrax@telus.net
Thank you Bill Turley (aka Bradford Lee Ferguson
