Hi I am looking for any info on my grandfathers family. His name was Clarence Hicks born in Winnipeg around 1908, his fathers name was Harry (Hank) Hicks lived in Winnipeg and worked for the CPR in that time period. Harry had uncles or brothers who owned a horse farm around the 1920's and sold them. Please send any info you may have. Thank you.
Sincerely
April Hicks

Hi April, This is a Link to the Livelong history book. The Hicks story starts on page 41, but there are many pages with bits about the family as well as other books from this area with more stories. http://www.ourroots.ca/e/page.aspx?id=3942851 Hope I'm not giving you info you already have. Butch

Hi April. The "ourroots" website is down right now ,but hopefully will be back soon. It's hosted by the University of Calgary and is loaded with history books.
Walter Hicks was a well known and sucessful buisineess man here in the Livelong area. His brother, Chester, lived in the Mervin area. I helped Chesters daughter find her mother's relatives in the U.S. Butch

Hi April, The website http://www.ourroots.ca/e/ is up and running again. You can click n the link I sent and read the Walter Hicks story. It mentions your Ggrandfather as well as the others. I searched the main site using Hicks Livelong and that brought up the books. Please post a reply as I have no idea if I am helping or not. Butch
