Clint,

The Scandinavian Land Company had an office in Kamsack

if memory is correct. There may be information in the Local

Kamsack or Preeceville History Book. I talked to a lady who

said her grandfather was the Manager of the Company for

years but I never kept her details but I think she had a lot of

information still in her family history collection. Perhaps there

is a document with this person's name on it so it could be

located and the whole story told. I think they advertised in

American Scandinavian Newspapers to get land sales so

they may have had an American connection as well? I would

check the early Census in Kamsack to get names of the

Business People and also the 1904 Dunn Business Directory

for those early years. I see them advertised on Ebay now.
