I'm praying that someone may be able to help me or direct me as to where I can gather more information please. I have just started my online genealogy searches, so the information I have thus far is very limited.

I have family in the Paynton, Saskatchewan area that I'm trying to search for on my Dad's side of the family... the last name is Morris. I'm hoping to find some pictures, stories, and any tidbit of information on the family. I'm also interested in finding out where my Grandfather would have gone to school back in the 1940's and what the school was like (ie, a one room school). My Great Grandfather LOUIS MORRIS was a farmer in the area. I remember that we had a family reunion up in Paynton quite a few years ago too.

My Great Grandfather was Louis Morris (B: 1887, D: 1970 Paynton, SK), he was married to Rachel Mary (nee: Barry) (B: 1902, D: 1986) and they had 12 children:

Mary Louise (B: 1922, D:1993),
James William (B: 1926, D: 1962),
John Alexander,
Dorothy Mae,
Herbert Duncan (B: 1931, D: 1991),
Pearl,
Robert Louis (My Grandfather: B: 1935, D: 2005),
Laura Evelyn,
Albert George,
Gail Annette,
and Wayne Francis (B: 1944, D: 2012).

I am greatly appreciative of your time in reading this message and eager to see if anyone may possibly be able to assist me in my search or send me in the right direction please.

Blessings,
~Kyla

This is a link to the Paynton history book, not much, but may give you something. I only found John Morris mentioned, apparently the family never submitted a history. http://www.ourroots.ca/e/toc.aspx?id=6238 You can find Louis's land location in this site http://www.saskhomesteads.com/search.asp he was on sec4, 55 22 W3 Butch

Hi
I hope I am able to steer you on to someone who may be able to shed some light on your search. I lived in the Paynton area and knew the Morris family, rode the school bus with the kids. My cousin however is a closer to the family connection, Jean (Inkster) Braun.
Her email address is circusbees@hotmail.com, she lives in Moose Jaw.
Good luck with your search.

Hi From Our Roots online - perhaps will be helpful
There are some stories - about school - in Paynton Sask

http://www.ourroots.ca/toc.aspx?id=6238&qryID=eed9de...

It does not appear that the family submitted family History/ Story to the Local History Book Project in the mid to late 1980's >

Have you asked living family members for information. Photographs - Memories
Obituaries for those deceased - may be helpful in location more current family members.
Cheers, Stella
