Nils SJOSTROM family - 1947 Donalda, Alberta, Canada

Nils SJOSTROM family - 1947 Donalda, Alberta, Canada

Posted: 6 Nov 2012 12:23AM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: SJOSTROM, HOLMBERG
I'm looking for information on Nils SJOSTROM (born Sweden around 1900) and his family who immigrated to Alberta, Canada in 1934. The last address I have for them is from 1947 and they lived in Donalda, Alberta, Canada at that time. Prior to that they lived in Meeting Creek, Alberta, Canada. The family consisted of Nils SJOSTROM, his wife Ottilia HOLMBERG SJOSTROM (born Sweden, January 9, 1900), and their 2 sons Karl Lennert/Leonard SJOSTROM (born Sweden December 12, 1933) & Nils Henry SJOSTROM (born Sweden). I'm not sure if Ottilia was still living in 1947. I would like to know if Nils & Ottilia are buried in Donalda. It's possible that their sons could still be alive.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help. I believe this is the correct family.

SJOSTROM, Henry; Donalda's Roots and Branches; Stettler
SJOSTROM, Leonard; Donalda's Roots and Branches; Stettler
SJOSTROM, Nels; Donalda's Roots and Branches; Stettler

Perhaps the mother, Ottilia, passed away when they still lived in Meeting Creek.

Do you know of anyone that can do a look-up from this particular book?

I live in Illinois, USA. I'll try to see if that book would be available through inter-library loan of something. I'm not sure in Canadian history books are readily available, but thanks for the help.

Thank you so much again for your help. I've sent a message to Shirley as you suggested. I hope to prove my theory, it really does sound like the correct family.

Thanks again,
Chris

Thank you for your help. I really do appreciate it. I read both passages about Nils SJOSTROM in the on-line book, "50 years on the Coulee Rim". I never would have known about the book without your help. I do think that it's probably the family I'm looking for but the book doesn't give Mrs. SJOSTROM'S first name. I'll have to find more proof to be sure.

Thank you also for the link to the Alberta Genealogical Society. I haven't done any research in Canada until now and you've helped me a great deal.
Thank you again
