Thank you for checking that. Do you know how many members of the Kambeitz family are buried there?

Re: Looking for a gravestone: Kambeitz

sstanger1 — 2011-11-20 20:11:26Z

Hi, Sorry I can't be of any help - but a thought.
The Cemetery is still in operation [from messages found doing a Google Search].
There should be a Cemetery Office - or someone who works with the Cemetery. They will know the layout of the Cemetery - what graves are still available for burial - they should also have information re burials on site - and the names of the persons buried there .
Cheers, Stella

zannah72 — 2011-11-20 18:11:55Z

Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you; the Kambeitz "section" of the Assumption Cemetery in Grassy Lake doesn't have headstones... All the Kambeitzes have white crosses instead; not sure who is who, to be honest.

I can get you some photos in the future, if you'd like. I also have a map I got from the County of 40 Mile which maintains the cemetery that might be helpful.

Re: George Henry Hook

Re: George Henry Hook

annlouisajane — 2011-09-04 08:12:57Z

Thank you for that information Peter.

It certainly looks like that is my George Henry Hook. (The birth date fits)

George really had a sad life. Watching his first wife and baby daughter die and then watching his baby son die.

I will be getting in touch with the sites you gave me. Thanks again

Hi, Unfortunately - Alberta has not made any of the Vital events accessble - all is considered private -
Though -some may be able to obtain registration - upon proof of a death.
The cost $40.Cndn - from the Govt of Alberta - Vital Statistics Registry offices.in Edmonton Alberta.

From National Archive of Canada - Western Land Grant

Perhaps ? there is no date shown -
Homestead records can be obtained from the Provincial Archive in Edmonton.

George Henry Hook

annlouisajane — 2011-09-02 16:58:59Z

This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but I hope that the details might ring a bell with someone.

My husband's uncle was George Henry Hook, born in London England in 1886.
His parents were James Hook and Kate Hughes.

In 1914, George and his wife Clara were living at Grassy Lake, near Taber.

On 23 Feb 1914 Clara gave birth to twin girls. The babies were named Clara and Matilda.
Clara was very ill after the birth and on 25 Feb 1914 she died.
On 4 Mar 1914 baby Clara died.

I am trying to discover what happened to George and to baby Matilda.
I would love to know that Matilda grew up to have children of her own, against all the odds.

I am in UK and I cannot find any re-marriage for George or a marriage for Matilda. I cannot even find a death for either of them, so I assume they both remained in Canada.

Are there any Canadian records on-line that I can search?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Re: Retlaw History: Susinski

2011-03-01 02:34:00Z

Hi, I have some information that may or may not be of some use to you. I too am researching a family tree. My father and grandfather lived in Retlaw. My grandfather came over form the Ukraine in ~ 1910 with one sister and one brother (names unknown) and they were married and they had two sons (names Unknown) and the people they married were farmers in the area. (names Unkown). My grandfathers name was Carl Susinski and my fathers name is Greg Susinski and they both worked for the railroad in Retlaw. There is a book out there that I have seen from the Lomond area that has some historical information on the Retlaw area. I would suggest contacting the Lomond town office and perhaps you can get a copy as it contained the names and informaiton on many people from the area. Happy hunting!!

Is there anyone who can take a photo for me of the gravestone of Elizabeth Kambeitz 1829-1911?
She is buried at Assumption Roman Catholic Cemetery

If my information is correct, then also her husband Henry Kambeitz "1826"-1904 is buried there.

Hi, What time frame?
Hi, If Irene Kovacs STEVENS lived in Ontario - have you also posted to the Ontario Message Board/s?

Did she live - marry - have her children in Alberta?
Are the Children still in Alberta - or did they go to Ontario with Irene?

If any of the family members are deceased - Have you searched for Obituaries - may show family members - and locations at that time. Perhaps can be followed up.

Perhaps posting to the Canada GenWeb Message Board. May be helpful -

Have you searched Online White Pages directory 411.ca
for the family ?

oops sorry- I must has mislead you. I'm not related to any Cooks that I know of! But like you, I wondered if J Ernie Cook was the same as Robert J Ernest Cook, and because he'd moved from Manitoulin to Taber I figure there must be a connection somewhere too. And yes, I gave you all the info I had. You can find it again by searching rootsweb for "earnest cook" I believe.
Good luck,
