I am searching for information on my grandmother. She died when my father was little(1948 or 1949) She was born and died in Saskatchewan. She was born 1921 or 1920. She married my grandfather in 1944 in St Louis Saskatchewan. I have a birth registration from my father. my grandmothers maiden name is listed as Vandale but I heard through my childhood that she may have been adopted?

Hi, What research have you already done ?
What are the names of your Great Grandparents -
You believe that your Grandmother Ida VANDALE -married COLGAN - may have been adopted

Many Provinces in Canada - have now opened Adoption records - these records may be available to your mother - or to you.. Well worth researching.

REGISTRATION of BIRTH - /Long Form Birth Certificate - If your mother had been adopted - the Birth Registration and Certificate - will be modified - to show the new surname - as well names of adoptive parents including maiden name of the mother.

HOSPITAL Records -re birth - these may be available - they would have the correct name of the birth mother - perhaps the birth father - if he chose to be named as birth father.

What month was your Grandmother born in 1920 1921 - She may appear in the 1921 Canada Census. NOTE: - Adoptive parents may choose a very different - given and middle name for the child that they adopt - names that they prefer.

Wow, thank you for your response.
I was just recently able to acquire my fathers birth registration, which confirmed to me that my grandmother's name was Ida Vandale. My father passed in 1999, I wish I would have asked more questions as a child as everyone involved is deceased. I spoke with my mother today and drilled her again, she gave me a name of Ida's brother, his name is Louis Vandale(wife Olive)

I searched right away and found a obituary of Rose Mary (Vandale) Lavalee.
This was really interesting because in the obituary there is mention of not only Ida but also Louis and Olive. In the obituary it states that Rose Mary was the only daughter and she had two brothers. Listed also are 12 step siblings, does this mean that the 12 were adopted?

I saw the census above, I am wondering if this is Ida(hada) maybe they had strong accents?
some of the children are the same names from the obituary or really close to the same name.
From the obituary it states natural children as Rose Mary, Pete and Alcide. Those are the oldest children listed?

Etienne died in 1975

she is Delena Lavallee in 1911 census, Dilima Leveille in 1901, father John or Jean
