I am looking for the write-up of Albert Dufva and Elvira M. Olson marriage on Aug. 17 1934 in your area.
Also an obituary of Albert Dufva Feb. 20, 1949. I think he died in Vancouver but should be an obituary in the Wetaskiwin newspaper.
Thank you.

Catherine

The Master Surname Database (not online) (mostly burials in Alberta cemeteries) of the Alberta Genealogical Society lists these names;

Albert DUFVA, 1895 - 1949
Elvira M. DUFVA, 1905 - 1950
burial in Water Glen Baptist cemetery, Ferintosh.

There are 16 other DUFVA burials in that Ferintosh area.

Check with the AGS Wetaskiwin Branch, or further research please contact the Research Committee of the Edmonton Branch.

Thank you for those burial dates and cemetery. I did have that info but was hoping for an obituary write-up. I will email the Wetaskiwin newspaper to see if they have archival obits.

Hi Catherine. Albert is my grandfather's brother. My mother was born in Wetaskiwin and lived in Water Glen but her mother moved back to Sweden when she was a child and we have no contacts left in Canada. I have some information about their ancestors. But I have not so much about the children of Erik Dufva and Margaret E Ring. Gustaf, Edwin, Emil have I met, Albert, Axel, Ernst, Ellen and Selma. May I ask are you related to Dufva or Olson? Can you help me. I know they lived on a farm, are Water Glen part of Ponoka? I can not find Water Glen on the map.

Hi Pallanite. I am related to the Dufva family through my husband. His mother's sister Elvira Margaret Olson m. Albert Dufva in 1934 in Red Deer. They had 3 sons, Norman, Alfred & Elmer. Albert died in 1949 and Elvira in 1950. I have a short history of the Eric Dufva family but only Selma, Ellen, Gustaf, Ernest, Albert, Axel & Emil are mentioned.
Would be very interested in corresponding with you to share info. Waterglen is near Ferintosh and larger centers Camrose and Wetaskiwin.
Let's keep in touch.
