I have been looking for information on Sydney Chester Johnston. As such I looked through the whole book Memoirs of Ghost Pine Homesteaders and didn't find him. However, I think Sydney is in the book Spirit of Ghost Pine - Kneehill. I think his brother Albert is there as well although his last name is spelled Johnson for some reason. Can anyone confirm that Sydney is in the Spirit of Ghost Pine book? And Albert?
Thank you

Thank you Stella. I have been trying to get further info from the Alberta Genealogical Society, etc but have been getting nowhere. When I search for the book on the Alberta GenWeb Digital Archives, it says contributed for use in Alberta Digital Archives by Gordon Berdahl. When I click on Contact, it says that they do not have the Books and for more info I should contact the Alberta Local History Book Index. When I go there, and find my ancestors, it says that they don't have further info on these persons and I should consult the book list. When I find the book on the book list, I am recycled back to the Alberta GenWeb Digital Archives. OMG, endless cycle. I will try something else.

Hi Peggy - Contaact the Provincial Archive, They may have the book in their collection.

Contact the Kneehill Municipal Office They may have a copy of the book - or can direct you to a source of informaion.

Public Library for the area - may also hold the book

Genealogical Society/Historical society for the area - should be able to help.
Posting to this board - may eventually bring some help]

Thanks Stella,
I have written to the town of Carbon as Sydney's father George is supposed to have died there in 1910. I enquired about his death, about the family, and about the Ghost Pine books. Now to see what happens.
