I came across this post by sheer accident. I have access to this book. If you haven't already found it, please let me know and I would be happy to look up any information you need.

What a kind offer,Tamara,I have been trying to access or obtain "Across the years" since first finding it about 4 years ago ,but it didn't reproduce well,very small and indistinct photos. So if you have a few mins to spare any items about any of these names would be marvellous. Last Christmas I made contact with Elaine Akitt,who is the grand daughter of Wilson Akitt. He was my paternal grand mother's brother, and sounded so brave and lonely ,I spent time researching him,also as part of the Akitt/Jenkinson family on my father's tree. They are all from NW.Cumberland ,GB. Thanks for your kind offer,carolyn.

Hi Carolyn,
I will transcribe anything that I can find and send it to you. If I can copy the pictures so they turn out nicely, I will do that as well and send them to you. I have family who live in Wainwright. Is there anything else I can get for you? Headstone photos maybe?

The Internet just gets faster!! There is only one head stone so far which it would be good to have and that is Wilson(known as Wils, Wis or William)Akitt's. He died on 26 april 1949, and is buried in Prospect Valley U.C. cemetery, in Edgerton.(plot 035)which isn't too far from Wainwright,if your family are perhaps passing. His land grant was granted in 1911,I think,the forms are abit fuzzy, and his address wasRibstone ,44,2,4. Battle River 17. What a life those Pioneers had to survive!!I think he was given a pioneer medal as he arrived about 195/6 and worked on the railways first.Thank you again. carolyn.ps.I'm also seeking,fruitlessly,any photos.

Hi, The Chauvin book, Across the Years, is also available on line in the history book site. This is a link. http://www.ourroots.ca/e/toc.aspx?id=6011 Not much on the Akitts, but the Jenkinson bio is on page 830 and Sewells on page 843 Do a surname search in the book for tidbits. Butch
