The Scandinavian Pioneers
Due to the enormous amount of Scandinavians who
pioneered in the County of Camrose, i've decided to create a page with
links to their
past travels and homesteads, prior to their
settlement here.
Camrose on the May Celebration in 1915.
Notice the two flags.
The Scandinavian pioneers of the Camrose County,
were as a majority, settlers of the American northern states who , through
friends , family, and Canadian Government officials, were encouraged to
immigrate to this area. They followed a general path from Minnesota and
surrounding states, via the train to Winnipeg and from there , onward to
Calgary and Wetaskiwin. At Wetaskiwin, they were generally met by landmen
who took them to the areas in the County where homesteads were available.
One of these land guides was Edmund Thompson , a norwegian immigrant himself,
who had married an American wife while living in Minnesota.

The Direct Route:
The scandinavians immigrating directly from their
home country, usually past through Montreal on their way westward. Some
information on their travels may be acquired through passenger ship lists
from this port. I will try to keep available as many sites that I
can locate, to accomodate this line of search.
