Hi, I did search the Alberta GenWeb Local History Book site for PERCAN - with 0 results.
Thought that perhaps one of the stories in the book - may have mentioned the family name -perhaps location or at least some reference -even if an actual family history of the family had not been submitted.
Our family were not aware of the Local History Book Project - we no longer live in Alberta -our family is mentioned as a place where other family stayed when they arrived in Canada. but our name is not indexed.
Alberta - Does not have any of their Vital events/ Birth/Marriage/Death indexed. Online.
This information is considered Private - only available from the Govt of Alberta Registry offices in Edmonton - the cost $40. Don't know if they would search a limited time frame - usually a few years either side of a given date - without requiring a fee.
If there was a Marriage - and published in the newspapers it may have appeared in the Edmonton Journal

Might be interesting to search the Manitoba newspapers / Winnipeg. In that time frame - people published marriages in the Classified section /marriages
as well -some families - also published information in the social pages - describe the gown, marriage place - attendants honeymoon etc. Perhaps Tekla may have been an attendant. or indicated as a visitor.
Vital Statistics site - shows 6 PERCAN births -
3 in Andrew - 3 in Rockwood.
One daughter Tecla - born in 1910 - perhaps named for your Tekla?
There is a birth of a child in 1902 -the mother Tekla PERCAN. inRockwood.

Perhaps some of the names - may be familiar - connected to your Tekla.
NOTE that Mary PERCAN passed away in Gimli Manitoba
the same year that your Tekla came to Canada . A connection?
Perhaps PERCAN family submitted family history/stories to the Local History book Project. for Manitoba ?
May mention Tekla -her arrival etc
Cheers & Good Luck Stella
