Re: Looking for a gravestone: Kambeitz 2011-11-20 22:22:05Z The AGS Master Name Index (not online) shows 12 KAMBEITZ names in Assumption cemetery at Grassy Lake.Please contact the Research Committee of the AGS. http://abgensoc.ca/ Peter
Re: Looking for a gravestone: Kambeitz 2011-11-20 20:21:25Z Thank you for checking that. Do you know how many members of the Kambeitz family are buried there?
Re: Looking for a gravestone: Kambeitz 2011-11-20 20:11:26Z Hi, Sorry I can't be of any help - but a thought.The Cemetery is still in operation [from messages found doing a Google Search]. There should be a Cemetery Office - or someone who works with the Cemetery. They will know the layout of the Cemetery - what graves are still available for burial - they should also have information re burials on site - and the names of the persons buried there . Cheers, Stella
Re: Looking for a gravestone: Kambeitz 2011-11-20 18:11:55Z Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you; the Kambeitz "section" of the Assumption Cemetery in Grassy Lake doesn't have headstones... All the Kambeitzes have white crosses instead; not sure who is who, to be honest.I can get you some photos in the future, if you'd like. I also have a map I got from the County of 40 Mile which maintains the cemetery that might be helpful.

Re: Looking for a gravestone: Kambeitz 2011-10-12 22:38:28Z My uncle is going to be buried out there this weekend; if I can find the plot, I will get you a picture of the gravestone.
Re: George Henry Hook 2011-09-04 15:57:32Z In the Brooks local history book, there is mention of George Hook as “the Canadian Western National Gas man…When the gas got low at night, Mr. Hook would have to get up in the night and go and thaw out a gas line…”http://www.ourfutureourpast.ca/loc_hist/page.aspx?id=243577 BTW, Brooks is in Newell County, AB.
Re: George Henry Hook 2011-09-04 08:12:57Z Thank you for that information Peter.It certainly looks like that is my George Henry Hook. (The birth date fits) George really had a sad life. Watching his first wife and baby daughter die and then watching his baby son die. I will be getting in touch with the sites you gave me. Thanks again
Re: George Henry Hook 2011-09-03 20:32:11Z The Master Surname Database (not online) (mostly burials in Alberta cemeteries) of the Alberta Genealogical Society lists these names;George Henry HOOK, 10 Nov 1886 - 21 Jun 1935 plot 07b,22 Mary Elizabeth HOOK, 18 Mar 1886 - 5 Jul 1948 p 07b,21 and then?

Re: George Henry Hook 2011-09-03 06:52:07Z Thank you both for coming back to me so quickly. I've now got some new places to dig.
Re: George Henry Hook 2011-09-03 02:42:48Z I can't access these Ancestry.com records, but they might be clues.1916 Canada Census of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta Name: George Hook Birth: 1886 Residence: township, city, Lethbridge, Alberta Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935 Immigration & Travel Name: Matilda Hook Birth: abt 1914 - Canada Departure: Southampton, England Arrival: 8 Dec 1929 - St John, New Brunswick There were several George Henry Hook gents that were killed in WWI; members of British units. He may have gone back to UK http://www.cwgc.org/debt_of_honour.asp
Re: George Henry HOOK , Matilda HOOK , 2011-09-02 22:33:23Z Hi, Unfortunately - Alberta has not made any of the Vital events accessble - all is considered private - Though -some may be able to obtain registration - upon proof of a death. The cost $40.Cndn - from the Govt of Alberta - Vital Statistics Registry offices.in Edmonton Alberta. From National Archive of Canada - Western Land Grant http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/western-land-gr... Perhaps ? there is no date shown - Homestead records can be obtained from the Provincial Archive in Edmonton. Reference: Volume: 603 Folio: 42 Microfilm reel number: C-641 4Names: George Henry Hook Map location shows the following: Milk River; 1-1-5-w4; Cypress; River. Milk River; 28-2-16-w4; Warner; Town. Grassy Lake Public Library - may hold City Directories etc check to see if George is listed. etc.
George Henry Hook 2011-09-02 16:58:59Z This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but I hope that the details might ring a bell with someone.My husband's uncle was George Henry Hook, born in London England in 1886. His parents were James Hook and Kate Hughes. In 1914, George and his wife Clara were living at Grassy Lake, near Taber. On 23 Feb 1914 Clara gave birth to twin girls. The babies were named Clara and Matilda. Clara was very ill after the birth and on 25 Feb 1914 she died. On 4 Mar 1914 baby Clara died. I am trying to discover what happened to George and to baby Matilda. I would love to know that Matilda grew up to have children of her own, against all the odds. I am in UK and I cannot find any re-marriage for George or a marriage for Matilda. I cannot even find a death for either of them, so I assume they both remained in Canada. Are there any Canadian records on-line that I can search? Thanks for any help you can give.
Re: Retlaw History: Susinski 2011-03-01 02:34:00Z Hi, I have some information that may or may not be of some use to you. I too am researching a family tree. My father and grandfather lived in Retlaw. My grandfather came over form the Ukraine in ~ 1910 with one sister and one brother (names unknown) and they were married and they had two sons (names Unknown) and the people they married were farmers in the area. (names Unkown). My grandfathers name was Carl Susinski and my fathers name is Greg Susinski and they both worked for the railroad in Retlaw. There is a book out there that I have seen from the Lomond area that has some historical information on the Retlaw area. I would suggest contacting the Lomond town office and perhaps you can get a copy as it contained the names and informaiton on many people from the area. Happy hunting!!

If my information is correct, then also her husband Henry Kambeitz "1826"-1904 is buried there. Thank you badenroots@yahoo.com

Perhaps posting to the Canada GenWeb Message Board. May be helpful - Have you searched Online White Pages directory 411.ca for the family ? Cheers, Stella

Re: William Thomas Cook, Manitoulin Island to Alberta in 1910 2007-01-06 17:13:17Z Thanks Bette, much appreciated.Sincerely, Sean
Re: William Thomas Cook, Manitoulin Island to Alberta in 1910 2007-01-06 17:08:10Z oops sorry- I must has mislead you. I'm not related to any Cooks that I know of! But like you, I wondered if J Ernie Cook was the same as Robert J Ernest Cook, and because he'd moved from Manitoulin to Taber I figure there must be a connection somewhere too. And yes, I gave you all the info I had. You can find it again by searching rootsweb for "earnest cook" I believe.Good luck, Bette
Re: William Thomas Cook, Manitoulin Island to Alberta in 1910 2007-01-06 14:35:46Z Hi,Thanks for the info. The fact that he (Ernie COOK) says he immigrated from Manitoulin Island to Taber means there definitely is a connection, but I can't immediately connect him. Leafing through the "Taber" book you linked me to through Our Roots, I noticed they often listed him as "J. Ernie Cook". I have a Robert John Earnest Cook, b. July 03, 1890 (The "J", could be for John). His brother was William Earnest Cook. In both cases "Ernie" could have been for "Earnest". I think you said your Ernie was born in 1898? Was that the entire article that you had sent me? Thanks.
Re: William Thomas Cook, Manitoulin Island to Alberta in 1910 2007-01-06 04:17:02Z There a note about an "Ernie Cook" although I don't now if he's "yours" or not.Alberta Newspapers, 1880-1982, pg. 297 Cook, Erna (Ernie), b. Manitoulin Ialand, Ont. 1898, moved to Tabor; 1913 to Grouard, homesteaded in Spirit River and was in lumber business; 1919 moved to Conjuring Creek, Leduc district, on wife's family farm; 1947 to Edmonton on CCF executive (EJP 15 173: Taber Advertiser 995 Sorry but I don't know what these source number means. You might search for Cooks in this book Golden Jubilee. Taber Alta. Booklet Committee http://www.ourroots.ca/e/toc.aspx?id=7600 pgs. 196, 197 have photos of Ernie Cook |
