Unfortunately, these can't be my Jacob. My Jacob was born in 1886 - well documented thru census and other documentation. In 1900, he was still in Kansas living with his widowed mother, Christine, and 4 other brothers. He was the only one to leave home for Canada - Christine and the other boys remained in the US.

There are several Jacob Fischer/Fisher homestead records "sort of" near Calgary but there is no way to tell if any of them is the correct one unless I order all the homestead records which would be quite expensive. Being a US citizen, would he have had to do anything special to homestead in Canada around 1910? Would he have to become a naturalized citizen first?
