KANOUSE MINES

Surnames: KANOUSE
Hello, I am trying to obtain some information on mines of the Edmonton area in the early 1800's. They were located on the St. Mary River, etc. I'm researching the KANOUSE family, and wonder if anyone has knowledge or could do a look up for me concerning the owner of the KANOUSE Mines. I didn't realize that the surname was in Canada also. Thanks for your help. Bonnie Rice/USA

The finding aids and indexes (not online) of the Alberta Genealogical Society lists these three;

KANOUSE, Fred (HAA.) can be found in the book index of "History of Alberta".
KANOUSE, Fred H. 18 Jun 1908 - 18 Jan 1980, (more info may be in the file 'Strays Canada Wide')
KANOUSE, Frederick A. died 21 Dec 1922 (index of the Ft Macleod Obits).

I am not familiar with a St Mary River, nor of Kanouse Mines in the Edmonton Area. However is may be in the area 300 miles south, and the Ft Macleod area.

You may want to contact the AGS Edmonton Branch Research Group that has access to the the above sources.
