Re: BONWICK - at Flin Flon
Alexander was my Father.I live in Nanaimo, B.C. Canada. We have done some research on the family and have a document from the Bardardo boys school where the 3 brothers were sent, which is very informative along with the pictures of the 3 brothers when they arrived there. It would be very interesting to correspond to family of my Father. My older sister lives in PEI, Canada. Dennis

Re: BONWICK - at Flin Flon
Thank you so much for replying to this message board, and for posting the beautiful picture of your Grandfather, his brothers, and families. The family tree put online by the Nelsons, which may no longer be posted, gave "Henrietta Jane Forsythe" birth as 13 May 1912 Bowsman, Manitoba, Canada and death of this person as 5 Feb 1982 Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I have passed the picture and information to Alex' grand niece who will share it with her mother, daughter of Wm. James (Alex' brother). A granddaughter of John Wm. has also posted to this board and will be pleased, I'm sure, to see this photo. Your father or uncle has also posted messages and they will be well rec'd' by family as well. Again, thanks a bunch for sharing your picture and information. It is very much appreciated. Joan Rawn

Re: BONWICK - at Flin Flon
Thanks, Dennis for replying to the message board, and sharing your information. I, myself, am no relation, but posted here to attempt to find information for my sister-in-law, who is a granddaughter of Wm. James BONWICK. Others have been generous with their histories as well and it is all very much appreciated. A picture placed online by your son (or nephew) is a real treasure. Would Karna be a relative? Her paintings are beautiful. Thanks again for sharing. Joan Rawn

Re: BONWICK - at Flin Flon
Yes Joan, Karna is our daughter. We have some lovely paintings in our home and she has a showing in two different galleries.Pass the word around to all your friends about her website as it sure would help her not just be a starving artist. Ha Ha. Actually she is now getting a lot of recognition. Dennis
