Surnames: McElheny
Hello,
I'm trying to locate a death record for my grandfather, Thomas Wilbur A. McElheny, who died or disappeared 1914-1915.
Also birth or baptism records for my uncle, father, and aunt:
William L. McElheny, born 21 September 1910
Archibald Eugene Augustus McElheny AKA Archie John McElheny, born 4 July 1911
Marie Rose McElheny AKA Mary McElheny, born 7 September 1914
Wife/Mother: Margaretha (Martha) Goetz McElheny
I know they were Catholic, and there are Catholic Church records, but I have no idea of which church they would have gone to during those years.
Some records say they were in Bow Island, some say Medicine Hat.
The Goetz family were Germans from Russia (via North Dakota), if that helps.
Thank you for any help!
