The information is also available through the Alberta Archives (Film # 2964 in Accession # 1970.313 at Provincial Archives of Alberta File # 2260070) You can obtain a copy for a very reasonable fee here: http://abgensoc.ca/homestead/index.htm#order This should give you additional information about where he came from and when he actually settled. This location puts him only two ranges north of my husband's grandfather, William Alexander Wilson who settled on Section 13, Township 32, Range 21, W4. There's a great map of the township/ranges here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~canmaps/cnr/AlbertaCNR.html > Looking for info on great grandparents: > > Eugene B.

Any differences you notice should be minor: The "-L" is being dropped from the official list name, but you will be able to both sub and post using the "old" name,with the -L, or the new one without it. If you use email headers to filter list mail in your email program, your filters may need adjusting. Digest subscribers will notice a small difference in the layout, volume and issue numbers of the list digests. New instructions will be added to the digests -- please read them. If your digests arrive in a different format than you are used to and you would like it changed, contact me. If you are subscribed to the list in both L and D modes using the same email address, you will find that you will no longer be subbed to the Digest after the move. The new software doesn't permit the same address to be subbed in both L and D modes. If you want to continue to be subbed to both the list posts and the digest, you will need to use two different email addresses. If you run into anything unusual or confusing with mail from this list that could be related to the changeover, let me know.

Their familial ties were broken once 'in care' and sent to Canada. Many British Home Children spent their lives trying to find their parents and siblings. Many of their descendants have inherited their ancestors' lifelong search for their identities. Their are an estimated 5 million descendants of the British Home Children in Canada, and another estimated 1 million in the USA - an unknown number of children ran away from their farm placements to the USA, married, and had children. Over 50 childcare organizations (ie Barnardo, Rye, Waifs & Strays) professed a motive of providing these orphaned, impoverished, unwanted children with better lives than what they might have had in England. But, many of these children suffered from child neglect and abuse, and were often treated only as unpaid indentured farm labourers and domestic servants. The primary goal of the British Home Children Society is to create a comprehensive database of individual British Home Children records called the British Home Children Registry. This Registry will collect information about each individual British Home Child to create an ongoing legacy that will preserve their identities in perpetuity. The Registry currently has +50,000 individual records, and an abbreviated online version can be searched on The British Home Children Website The British Home Children Society was formed to assist the millions of Canadian, American, British, and Australian descendants of the British Home Children with re-establishing their familial ties. The sending agencies have been traditionally reluctant to release records to descendants. The British Home Children Society is committed to building an international community of Canadian, American, British, and Australian descendants to assist each other with their searches.

He was my grandfathers brother. We believe that the McArthurs lived in or around Calgary and that one daughter Jean Dickerson may have lived in Drumheller possibly in the 1980's. If anyone has knowledge of either of these families we would appreciate your help. Thanks Beverly Beverly <tomsmom@ipa.net> 2006-04-05T16:24:25-06:00
