Hi
Am trying to trace my great grandmother.
Name Albina Sveins born Nov 29, 1856 we believe in Rekyavic,
Iceland. She came to Canada to Manitoba (date unknown) we believe
to Winnipeg area, then to the Lake Manitoba area (Big Lake
district west shore of lake)
since many came from Sask. I am sending this to you in hopes you
can help. She married Eyjolfur Thompson (Tommasson or Tomasson)
who was from the same area of Iceland (from US census from
Bainbridge Island (off the coast of Washington State) said they
had been married for 9 years so 1891 would be marriage date. So
they must have been married in US, because it says they
immigrated 11 years before census, which would have been 1889.
Always thought they married and then came to US, but from Census
looks like they immigrated THEN got married (if you can believe
the census.)
My grandmother Christine Ingibjorg Thompson was born Sept 24,
1893 on Bainbridge Island (that we know for sure)
they had one adopted son, Freeman which the census shows as
immigrating at same time, 1889. Another son born on on Bainbridge
was Thomas born 1895 and another son born there, Alfred born
1896. My gr grandfathers brother Jon Thompson (maybe didnt change
name, maybe stayed Tommassson ) moved to Vancouver BC around
1907. Really confusing on this side of my family because the
dates don't make sense. Always thinking Eyjolfur and Albina were
married before coming to the US, but the dates dont match up. Any
help you could give would be most appreciated.
On the ship coming over with Eyjolfur were his parents Tomas
Ingimundarson born " and wife Gudrun Eyolfsdotter born" in
Rekyavic. they came with their children.
HELLPPPP!!!!

On behalf
of a computerless friend:
He is looking for his natural father, Ben GILLES, who was living
within a 100 km radius of Moose Jaw (on a farm) during WWII. Ben
GILLES, if he is still alive, would be about 75 yrs of age right
now.
If anyone knows Ben GILLES or anything about him, would you
please contact me"
Also, if it is not too much trouble, and there aren't too many of
them, could someone please look in the Moose Jaw phone book and
forward me any Gilles that are listed"
Thank you very much in advance - my friend keeps hitting a wall
with all his efforts.

Re. Anker
Johannessen (son) Ljungren, can you help me to locate anything
about him"
My mothers uncle, came to Canada in 1927, and we have been trying
for some years to find him or his family. Anker Ljungren
(Johannessen), born 27.03.1906 from, Østre Toten Norway,
immigrated to Arcola, Saskatchewan,
Canada 22 or 23 /3-1927 with the ship Montcalm (CPR owned), from
Liverpool England to Quebec.
Canadian Railway Company also did the transportation once they got
to Canada.
Ankers parents was Johan Johannesson Ljungren and Helvine Amalie
Kolvsen Sørensen. Østre Toten Countyboard had a meeting 26 Jan
1927. They did give nok. 30.000 to 56 persons (nok. 600 per per.
person) that went on the long trip.
A letter dated 14 June 1927 from Mr. W. F. Youngblud give a
record of the arrival and that he got his first job at a farm
owned by Mr. N. J. Olsen in Arcola in 1927 . A rumor in the
family say that he joined the Canadian Forces in WW 2, doing
his time at an airfield and returned alive and that he was
married and have a family in Canada and four daughters.
Can you please help me. This will mean so much for my mother to
locate her uncle or his family.
