I've always been told that the name originates from Prussia but like you with your Poland link I have found no proof of this. Its quite possible that it did in fact originate from France as taken from Cecil Powell's autobiography it says:-
I was born at Tonbridge in Kent, in the South of England, on the 5th December 1903. My father, Frank Powell, came of a family which had lived in the neighbourhood for some generations and my grandfather, Peter Powell, had established a gunsmith's business in the town which my father inherited. My mother, Elizabeth Caroline, née Bisacre, was the daughter of a schoolmaster, a Gloucestershire man of Huguenot descent, who had migrated from Wotton-under Edge to the small town of Southborough, two miles from Tonbridge, where he had set up a private school. I was the elder child of our family, my only sister, Phyllis, being three years the younger.

This would indicate that he must have known of some connection presumably prior to John who was born in 1778 in Gloucestershire.

Andy Bisacre

Re: Cemetery in Strathmore

codyfm3 — 2009-06-14 00:34:22Z

Hello!
I have been trying for a number of years to find three or maybe four WOLVERTON family members in Strathmore, Alberta and was told they had died there ---yet one family member stated that some had moved into Little Fort and for years took that to mean a community in Alberta. Is there a list of cemeteries that you might know of in either of the areas -Strathmore or Little Fort.
Thanks,
Paul Wright

Hi,
I do not find their names on the AGS Cemetery index of surnames. But the names appear in the book, "Along the Fire Guard Trail", see http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~canab/lookwhea.html

Re: Rockyford...1911 Census, MILLER, A.W.

Stella_Stanger — 2008-11-26 22:28:35Z

Hi, Just a thought -Always a good Idea to post the Surname of Interest - in Capital Letters ont he Subject Line - followed by Given name/s if known Catches attention - ans is much easier to find in the future.

Have you considered searching for family connected names - spouse - etc in the 1911, 1906, 1901 Census?

Searched under other possible spelling for the Surname. Sometimes the enumerator may have made an error. Transcription of the surname may be incorrect - depending on the clarity of the original.

Have you searched: National Archive of Canada - Western Land Grants?
Have you searched Google re Rockyford Alberta - it will show the location.

Alberta Place names:
Rockyford 22-26-23-w4 Wheatland Village

The Master Surname Index (not online) (mostly burials in Alberta cemeteries) of the Alberta Genealogical Society lists these possible names;

Rev. Arthur Wellesby R. WHITEMAN, - 15 Apr 1926 age 61yrs.
Mrs. Nina WHITEMAN, - 19 Jan 1956 age 83yrs (died at Banff).
These were from indexed obituaries from the Fort Macleod news paper that appeared in the later issues of the paper.

That town would have been "BEYNON" which was about 16 miles south west of Drumheller.

James and Christina Tait came to Langley, B.C. in 1901. They farmed there along with their son James until their deaths - Christina in 1931 and James in 1933. They are both buried in the old Murrayville Cemetary in Langley. James stayed on at the farm until his death in 1950. As to James and Christina's daughters there was Jeannie Taylor, Alison Harding and my grandmother Elizabeth Galland.

HI,
My name is Tim Ingeberg. My great grandfather was Thorleif(Thor) Ingeberg. I know that the family had migrated to canada in the early 1900's and my grandfather Thomas Ingeberg and my father Thomas Ingeberg originally live in calgary and my father later moved to edmonton and settled in the greater vancouver area in BC. I have seen my great grandfather's death certificate but it was so long ago i could not tell you where that is now. I'm not sure if this helps or is even if we are related. However I'm always into finding my roots, history plays the biggest part in who we are today.

They lived in rockyford alberta. your mother, her sister, and maybe a brother used the last name of Leslie, when they lived in rockyford. Grandma told me that her last name was mccarthy when she had the 2 girls, i'm not sure if norman was a mccarthy or a leslie.

Hi,
From the Alberta GenWeb Local History Books

INGEBERG, T ; 134; The Hussar Heritage; Wheatland

Just a small paragraph - T.INGEBERG - town constable rounding up carloads of people - to help fight a fire.
Cemetery Info: Queens Park - INGEBERG - 4 lisings.
http://www.afhs.ab.ca/data/cemeteries/search.php
INGEBERG:
Francis M. 1918 - 1990
Thomas 1919 - 1996
Ingeborg 1894 -1976
Thorlief - 1888 - 1974

Provincial Archive of B.C. Vital Events Index:
lists only two INGEGERG deaths
Nelson - age 71 - 1936 South Westminster
Norman William - age 57 -1981 -Victoria BC
The filmed registrations can be viewed at no cost at the Provincial Archive in Victoria. Some Public or University Libraries - The Latter Day Saints Family History Centres.
There are Volunteers at Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness - British Columbia. Any who offer Lookup of Public Record - can view,transcribe or copy the information found. - Perhaps a family connection?
**searching 411.ca - there are only 9 INGEBERG in Canada

Re: searching for Fredrick Brass born 1948

Stella_Stanger — 2007-09-14 18:42:53Z

Hi, Perhaps just calling the number - or -if there is an address shown - writing a letter. Could answer your query very quickly.

Actually - searching the Online White Pages Directory MyTelus.com
http://www.mytelus.com
http://www.411.ca

shows a Frank BRASS - at the location that you mention. There are 39 BRASS surnames listed in Alberta.
Searching in B.C. there is only a Frank BRASS listed.
Searching Nationwide - finds only 4. the two Frank above - as well 2 F.BRASS in the Province of Ontario
