I am trying to help my niece to find information on her ggggrandfather who was Joseph Robert Romeo. He came to the USA from France and later to Alberta, Canada. We believe they settled in the Barrhead, Alberta area. He was born (?) and Deceased (?) He married Susanna Low born July 6, 1857 where(?)and deceased April 13, 1925 at Rochfort Bridge, Alberta.

Family lure has it that Joseph Robert Romeo established a mill business near Barrhead, Alberta and also owned a farm in the area. He ashes were spread on his farm.

"Romeo Lake" Alberta is said to be named after Joseph Romeo.

Joseph and Susanna had seven children:

Alvie
Callie
Joseph Hugh
Lee (Leopold) served in the Canadain Army WW1 1916
b: 1888 in Charleston Texas.
Mary (Maria)
Octavius
Robert

Information of any kind on Joseph Robert Romeo and family would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for your help

The Master Surname Index (not online) (mostly burials in Alberta cemeteries) of the Alberta Genealogical Society lists some 25 ROMEO names including;

Susana ROMEO, 1857 - 1927,
Joseph H. ROMEO, 1885 - 1955,
Leopold ROMEO, - 5 May 1966 age 76,
Robert L. ROMEO, 11 Aug 1918 - 3 Oct 2002,
all buried in the Peavine Anglican cemetery at Sangudo.

Most of the ROMEO's are buried in this cemetery with a few in other nearby cemeteries.

If you contact the the AGS Research Services Committee of the Edmonton Branch, they can send you a print out of this Peavine cemetery that would list all these and the family members. This family is also mentioned in some of the local history books. They can also send you pages from these books.

A very BIG THANK YOU to Stella and Peter for all their information. We did travel to Lake Romeo and the Peavine Community, people were just awesome with helping us locate the original place where Joseph had settled and the cemetery. We also met with GG granddaughter of Joseph Robert. We collected alot of information . My niece went back to the USA on cloud nine.

Thanks you to everyone who helped us along the way.
