Merry Christmas to all those associated with this project. You do a great service for the Historical references related to Alberta. I never appreciated the significance of our early pioneers and their contribution to building a great province.
One side of my family and many of their neighbors arrived in the Smokey Lake area around the end of 1800’s during the mad rush of immigrants into Canada. I learn from your Blogs so many little pieces of the family puzzle. Thanks and Merry Christmas to all.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are glad that you find value in our posts. Happy New Year to you!
