I am looking for any relatives of the Smedstad line who are directly related to Daniel Smedstad and Hilda Jensen. Here is some info:

Albertina & Jens H. Smedstad had the following kids:
Helen Marie, John Anton, Karen aka "Carrie", Julia, Minnie & Daniel Smedstad. Daniel Smedstad was born in 1880 in the US
All of the Smedstad children followed thier mother to Claresholm, Alberta and Daniel opened up the first Barbershop in the Alberta Hotel in Claresholm, which his mother Albertina Carlberg and her 2nd husband Rev Carlberg owned.

Daniel Smedstad married Hilda Jensen and had the following kids: Myrtle, Julia, Dan, Helmer, Fanny, Seth, Ester, Ruth, Nina. SIX of these kids became school teachers!

Julia may have married a man with the last name of Dalquist, as she is the one who wrote about our family line for a book called "Where The Wheatlands Meet The Range" which is also searchable online at: http://ourfutureourpast.ca

As far as we know - most of these kids of Daniel and Hilda all moved to BC.... Would love contact with anyone related to this line. We have a lot of information and pictures to share about this Smedstad line as well as FOSS, BARLEY, BENSON, BEST, AFDAHL, MORTS, GALDE, LARSON, POWER,CARLBERG,
HILL, WARBER & PENZLOFF lines too! Hope to hear from you soon!

I knew of one Smedstad family living in Cranbrook, BC.
Have you tried our online telephone directory?
www.canada411.ca

There are some there that might be yours, such as the Cranbrook and Invermere listings; both are in British Columbia near the Alberta border. I still am in contact with one family.

Hi Jill,

Are you related to the Smedstad's too? You said in your reply that you still keep in touch with one Smedstad line?
I did a 411 search for Smedstad's in Alberta and have been in contact with Carl Smedstad's sons.... They were great to talk to! I will try a 411 search for Smedstad's in BC now as well.... Please write me back if you are related to the Smedstad line, so we can compare notes! Thanks Jill

Sorry, I'm not related. We're aquainted with a Smedstad family who used to be a neighbour of one of our family members. We have a few mutual friends.
Should I ask if they are interested in your Daniel?

Hello Again! Yes, of you wouldn't mind asking them if they are related, that would be wonderful - thank you! I am sure that with all 9 children that he had, one of the grandchildren or great grandchildren would recall the name!
Thank you very much! *S*

Hi Ted! Nice to meet you... My mom knows you - or knows about you... you are uncle Dick's son, right? I was in contact with a Jessie Warber from San Diego about 1 1/2 years ago now.... but haven't heard back from her in a long time! My Mom Shirley and myself ( I am Angela) have been finding out lots about our family lines as of late... have much info to share with you all!!

We don't have much on the Power side as of yet, but are finding out all about Helen's grandmother, Great Grand Mother and even Great, Great Grandma! It is quite interesting stuff too... have been in touch with the Smedstads, and my mom and I have found about a dozen relatives so far related to your Helen!! *S*

I am in the process of moving to Calgary, but once I get settled I will email you.

Please email me at : moonlady35@yahoo.com and when you do, send me your snail mail address and I will burn you a copy of all the info and pictures we have shared so far between all the family lines - the amount of info will BOGGLE your mind!!! I will send it to you on CD Rom, and you can see just all that we have accumulated so far, and are still working on! Nice to hear from you... PLEASE do keep in touch...

Love, Angela

I was born on 2/3/45 in Omaha, Nebraska, my name was Suzanne Kay Jensen, my mother's name was Hilda Jensen. I was adopted mid 1945 by Vernon/Mildren Mc Neill of South Dakota. I was just wondering if this is the same Hilda Jensen. Please let me know. Thank you,

Wow, talk about random luck. I was searching for an article I wrote online a while back and struck this message instead. You just listed my Grandpa, Seth Smedstad. They moved from Clairsholm before my father was born (in the 50s) to Edmonton, where he lived until he passed away about ten years ago He had a son (My father) Richard Smedstad, and he had 3 children, Benjamin Seth Smedstad (Me), Adrian Smedstad, and Robyn Smedstad. If you would like more details, please feel free to E-mail me. I will be checking this board later.

Just going through some old photos etc., and Myrtle, Ruth, Dan and all my great aunts and uncles. We are definintely the right Smedstads =)

I never knew anything about our family beyond my grandparents generation, more our less our family is small enough that a family reunion was supper time (both my parents are only children) =).
