Email: bishad@direct.caMy grandmother's brother A.G. POTHIER is said to have owned a store in North Battleford. He was known as 'Willy' by family members in Tusket Wedge/Wedgeport, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia. His given names were Andre Guillaume [Andrew William]. His wife was Maggie/Margaret TAYLOR [?] and their daughters were Lottie and Marguerite. The time frame was pre-1950 and possibly as early as 1910. Can anyone direct me to resources such as newspapers, directories or chamber of commerce archives, so that I can begin to search for evidence of his background as a merchant? Is there a library or archive in the area which might have a personal name index? I would appreciate addresses and any other help along this line. With many thanks,

Email: Wayne_Ordynas@bc.sympatico.caI'm looking for any information on a Gerald Ferris settled in Sask., what yr. I do not know he had married and had three children Lillian, Doreen and Lawrence. His wife I believe was native and had died shortly after her son Lawrence was born. I remember as kid that we had visited the Battleford area, with my parents. My mom's name is Doreen and she married my dad in Fort St John B.C. His name was Frank Hunter. I recall visiting their (my mom's) old homestead. So I believe there should be a land title in the name of Gerald Ferris(his nationality was English). Gerald Ferris left that area when the kids were quite young and settle in Northern B.C. around 100 mile house, of which he own a ranch. I would appreciate any help on the above

Looking for a Nathan Hay, at time of death 1934 he was living in North Battleford, brought to Calgary and buried in the Burnsland Cemetery by his daughter. I found records of him in Manitoba living in several towns, employed by the CPR as a Station Agent. I lost track of him in 1900, but do not know what year he moved to Saskatchewan, probably was connected to the railway in some way.
