Subject: NAMES OF SCANDINAVIANS IN ALBERTA L - O
Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2000 12:11:19 -0700


L - O

This is an updated list of about 160 names (including pertinent details) of
the Scandinavian people found in a book called "BEAVER TALES". It is about
the early settlers of Ryley, and the Beaver County area (near Edmonton)
Alberta, Canada.

Most are from Norway, some from Sweden or Denmark. Many of them moved back
and forth between the U.S.A. ( Minnesota / Dakotas etc.) and Canada once
leaving their homeland. There is a great deal more about them, including
some photos.

If you would like further information about anyone, please e-mail me
off-list and I will be happy to forward what I have. Here's hoping this
will help someone!
