Hi Bo, I just read the Coates bio and it says Allen married Selma Stohl, but remarried to Isabel McLachlan. It also says he moved to B.C. http://www.ourroots.ca/e/toc.aspx?id=1541 The bio starts on page 90, but the info is on page 91. Wonder what happened to Selma?? Butch

Hi, Registration of Birth for Dorothy PAUL born aprox 1914 in Newfoundland. Will show the mainden name of the mother Amelia PAUL nee ?

Marriage Registration for Dorothy PAUL to George BARNHOUSE will thow the Names of both sets of parents including maiden name of the mothers - place of birth of parents etc.

Father of Dorothy BARNHOUSE nee PAUL Reginald John PAUL dcd WW1 July 1 1916. Perhaps Service records will show maiden name of Amelia?

Death Registration for Amelia MAGEE prev married PAUL
may show maiden name - name of both sets of parents - all depends on knowledge of the informant.

Where do the other Surnames come into the family line?
Cheers, Stella

Yes, I was aware of this book, have a copy of it at home. What we (me and my friend) wish is to know more about descendants of Selma Lofstrom and Walfred Stohl - i.e. "living relatives", but how ot get that information? Did everyone remain in Canada? Would be grateful if you can point me in any direction.

Try to help a friend of mine to find descendants of Selma and Allen. 1974 they still were in Edmonton:
Canada, Voters Lists, 1935-1980
Name: Allen C Coates and Selma Coates.
Location: Edmonton; Strathcona, Alberta
Occupation: Radio Tech
Electoral District: Edmonton-Strathcona
Year: 1974
105 Street, nbr 4735
Source Information:
Ancestry.com. Canada, Voters Lists, 1935-1980 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2012.

Selma was nee Stohl, her mother Selma Stohl nee Lofstrom was born in 1895 in MN. The latter was in Beatty Sask as of 1916 according to Census. Then she was not married to Fred Stohl yet. It has been told me Fred(Walfred) and Selma had many children.
My friend has relationship with Stohl/Lofstrom and plans to travel in BC and California in April 2013, she would like to connect with "living relatives" of course.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Not Family connect4ed
Filmed Registration of death for
Lena McCONNELL age 56 Oct 5 1914 in New Westminser BC
may show cause of Death.

What was the surname for the sister
Eleanor Maud also decd in BC in 1914.?

Filmed Registration can be viewed at the Provincial Archive in Victoria BC - Some Public & University OLibraries in BC - as well - any LDS Family history centres - [films may need to be brought in for a small fee
A request to the BC MJessage Board requesting transcript of information from the filmed Registrtion - would be helpful.

Obituary if one was published may mention names and locations of other family members at the time.
though many are very basic - usually just a notice of death in the classified section - with date of death and place where funeral , burial. name of funeral home in charge.

Flu was in 1918/1919 worldwide.

Re: Alex McConnell & Lena Marlin family BOWLING BURNS

ColeenChristensen — 2012-10-30 00:43:37Z

Yes, I'm still working on them. Another online db has Alexander's name as James Alexander, with the death date I have--I accepted the information as the source was a descendent of Agnes. However that source may have identified the wrong person, as they have the name as James Alexander--which is likely wrong, as Alexander had a younger brother named James.

This death record seems to be the right Lena:
Vital Event Death Registration
Name: Lenah Mcconnell
Event Date: 1914 10 5 (Yr/Mo/Day)
Age: 56
Gender: female
Event Place: New Westminster
Reg. Number: 1914-09-090366
B.C. Archives Microfilm Number: B13091
GSU Microfilm Number: 1927119

Sister Eleanor Maud also seems to have died in BC during Oct 1914. Was that the year of the 'flu epidemic?

I believe I got Burns as a last name from one of Martha's descendants, who only knew her as Annie Burns. So Stella's theory is probably spot on.

If either of you is a descendant, could we share more info? Privately? Thanks.

Coleen, I don't know if you are still working on this family or not, but I think you are as I came upon a WorldConnect tree with a 2012 date. I am trying to find out what happened to Alice Annie McConnell. I belive she first married an Albert Bowling, who took suddenly ill and died in Fernie BC in 1935. Did she marry H. Burns after that time? Thanks for anything you can help me with. Ruth

Thanks Stella, we have been searching for her birth record.
We know her parents and family members and place of birth.
Have not been able to find her birth or baptism record. We have found her brothers but not hers or her sister Harriett.
They were both born in Grande Bend Ontario. It is frustrating to find the family records but not theirs.

Re: Guy & Shirley VAUGHN

Hi, Is your aunt - still living ? deceased?
If deceased - An Obituary may be of some help
Registration of Death - Long form Death Certificate
[from Govt Vital Statistics Dept - ]
will show date and place of birth - names of parents including maiden name of the mother if known to informant.
Place of birth of parents [ may just show country]
Is VAUGHN - a married surname or a maiden surname?
Do you know the aprox. birth year for Shirley VAUGHN?

The reason I ask - There are many people who read the messages - some may not be your family members - or even family connected - but - may have at least some of the information you are looking for. so -any other information - might also be of help.
Cheers, Stella

Re: Schincke or Shincke

wildebillie — 2012-09-13 23:00:08Z

My gr gr granddad was Nathanial[Dan] Schincke. My gen info came from a collaboration of data collected by various family members. One thing that is consistently clear is that John Schincke was married to Charlotte Litke [sometimes spelled Leudke]. Names were often misspelt on records and handwriting is often illegible; but there was consistency in Litke...not Silke....never heard of Silke before.
They had 15 children. The eldest, Reka, was born in Prussia, the next 10 were born in Canada, the 4 youngest were born in Nebraska.
John Schincke is buried in Olympia, Washington and Charlotte in Eugene, Oregon. Both they, and some of their children were fairly nomadic roaming over a great part of the USA & Canada....and were an important part of pioneering in and around Edmonton, Alberta.
Considering how this family loved to wander, it's not surprising to hear about the 2 Grunke/Shincke couples coming to Cuming county at the same time from 2 different directions. Cuming county appears to be a pivitol location for the Schinkes.
Are these families part of your tree? If you would like more info I would be happy to share what I have. Let me know:)

Re: Schincke or Shincke

mjmiddendorf — 2012-07-18 18:13:23Z

I checked on the Schinke marriages in Cuming County when I was in Lincoln, Nebraska the last time, and found the following:

Hermin Schinke married Angelina Miles on 23 Feb 1876. Hermin was born in Canada on 20 Oct 1854, the son of John Schinke and Charlote Silke. Angelina was born in Pennsylvania on 17 Sep 1857, the daughter of Samuel MIles and Elizabeth Leanik or Seanik.

Nathaniel Schinke married Mary Reeson on 7 Nov 1878. Nathaniel was born in Canada on 5 Sep 1857, son of John Schinke and Charlotte Silke. Mary was born in Will County, IL 11 Aug 1853 daughter of Samuel Reeson and Harriet Maddock.

Charles Kolterman married Elizabeth Schinke on 4 Jan 1876. Charles was born in Prussia on 25 Apr 1854, son of Wm. Kolterman and Wilhelmina Kryger. Elizabeth was born in Canada 5 Feb 1856, daughter of John Schinke and Charlottel Sutke (the u has an umlaut above it).

There are two families in Cuming County, both with the husband's last name Grunke/Grinke and the wife, Schinke/Schunke. One group coming from Wisconsin and the other from Canada - both about the same time. I'm convinced they are connected, perhaps the husbands are brothers or cousins and the wives, the same. Families from the same areas of Germany were so intermarried, that the 'coincidence' of two so similar named families arriving from two different areas to the same small town in Nebraska at the same time must be connected, though it may take a trip to Germany to sort it all out.

jlrae_1 — 2011-04-26 23:32:21Z

Hi Dave, I've no relation to the Gosling ancestor you describe here, but I thought I might be able to help.

The address you've provided sounds like it is from the City of Strathcona (not to be confused with the present-day County of Strathcona). The City of Strathcona was incorporated into the City of Edmonton in 1912. I checked in the City of Edmonton Henderson Directories, and there is indeed a Sydney C Gosling, city claim agent, residing at the listed address from 1921.

The City of Edmonton Henderson Directories are available online as part of the Peel Prairie Provinces collection found here:

http://peel.library.ualberta.ca/bibliography/2962.html

In the later years, there is a wife named Clara listed in the directory.

There is also a mention of Clara May Gosling here:

http://www.abheritage.ca/flyboys/homefront/deaths_rcaf_02.ht...

I also found an entry in this index:

http://www.epl.ca/edmonton-obituaries

I sometimes go to Edmonton for research, and could obtain the newspaper microfilm printouts next time I go if you'd like.

Anyone out there with any info on Charles Gosling of Strathcona, I know from this that he married a female Collins from England, but trying to find which one, most likely are Florence Mary or Annie Rebecca.
