Did Thomas Pickering B 1829 and Hannah PICKERING nee FRENCB = settle in Alberta Canada?
Did all the children and their families mentioned - all come to Alberta Canada or did some stay in Pennsylvania?
Did John French PICKERING b 1853 and Rachael PICKERING nee LOVETT b 1871 settle in Alberta Canada - After their two daughters were born in Calgary?
When were the daughters born in Calgary
Alberta is difficult to search. Some early records might be found at the Provincial Archive in Edmonton.
