http://uk.multimap.com/wi/57937.htmhttp://www.compusmart.ab.ca/abgensoc/sources/bfbz.htmlhttp://prrd.ab.ca/~bs/Searched the Alberta GenWeb site:
http://users.rootsweb.com/~canab/index.htmlLocal and Community History Books:
http://users.rootsweb.com/~canab/lhb/lhbindex.html*I could not find a reference to Reginald and Rita HOPKINS.
It is quite possible that they are mentioned in a Local History book but not found at the site. The books listed at the site - are offered as reference by persons who own or have access to same. There are many books written, but still not listed.
Not knowing Rita's GGGrandmothers name - I could not do a search . Perhaps you will be able to find some reference.
to the family:
There are Volunteers -
http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Ecanab/lookups.html who will help with books found.
* Just a thought:
Your message as posted - shows BURDETT Alberta as your subject of interest. Perhaps persons seeing this, may not continue reading your message [they may feel they have no information to offer about the place name] They may not see your interest in the HOPKINS family.
Perhaps re posting with HOPKINS on the Subject Line, In Capital Letters, followed by the given names, and location of Burdett alta. An aprox. time frame would also be helpful.
Wishing you much luck with your search.
Cheers, Stella
