Studebaker (Studabaker) who immigrated to Canada in 1893 from the US and became a rancher. (His daughter, my grandmother was subsequently born(1906) and raisedin Edmonton.) I found out that the province of Alberta did not yet exist at that time and that there was, however, a District of Alberta which was located in the Northwest Territories (now the Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan). District Number 202 (Alberta District) which contained a Sub-district called Plant. I wondered if there was any more information about this place/area called 'Plant'or my G Grandfathers ranch?

Question 75920 asked on 2010-08-09 09:30:28

I am visiting Edmonton on Saturday 14th August 2010 for a while and wonder if you could help me track down my family. My Aunt was called Margaret 'Peggy' Hanson, married to James 'Jim' Hanson. They emigrated to Edmonton in the late 1940s or early 1950s. They had three sons John, Denis and Gerard. My aunt and uncle have both died and I have no idea where my cousins now are. I really would love to see where they used to live, even though I may not be able to see my cousins, who are probably in their 70s by now. Can the city records find their old address? I think there was a 1114 number in it. I have a black and white photo of the house and front garden. I do hope that you can help me. From Ann Shaw (Ne Pooler) originally from Castleton in Lancashire England, where my aunt, born Margaret Pooler came from.

Dear Sir or Madame,  Re: Oliver Love, died in Bassano, 1922 A few years ago Miss Blanche Coultis of the Brooks and District Museum sent me some information about a great uncle of mine, Oliver Love, who published a Bassano newspaper and also worked at the Brooks Bulletin.  After his wife left him with his chilldren he committed suicide in 1922.  His wife Nancy went back to Quebec with the children, (Thelma, George, Leslie and Nola [Nicol]) but afterward returned to Bassano.  Would your society  have any records about how long Nancy Love remained in Bassano or if her children remained there?  I am researching the newspaper articles by Oliver Love.  Oliver Love was buried in the Bassano cemetery but outside the limits due to suicide .

I moved to Edmonton back in 1975 and I am looking for archived pictures of the North Start hotel and the other hotel that use to sit where the Kingsway Garden Mall is now. The North start Hotel was like a row house hotel and the other motel i think was called the siesta hotel? It had like a Mexican themed logo at the front. I am looking for this information more for personal use in a book i am writing about where my family lived when we first arrived in Edmonton. I've been looking all over the web but can't find anything and lucky me I end up at your site. Can you help/direct me as to where I can find pictures so I know I did not dream the hotel/motel? They use to be right where Kingsway is now. Thank you for any assistance you can give me.
