    Attended just for curiosity since my relatives are mainly from the US, Scotland or Sweden. But I need to think again. G G Grandfather from Ontario before moving south and A Swedish Grandfather who homesteaded in the NWT for a few years before moving to Montana. His brother stayed in Alberta. I now now know more about how to find them.
