Does anyone have a copy of Trails, trials and triumphs of Edberg and community (1981)?

Question

Published by the Edberg Historical Society Book Club.  I only have a photocopy of page 450 and am looking for more information about the Hanson family who lived in Edberg circa 1906

Comments

It's not widely available at libraries but here's the list from WorldCat. It doesn't seem to be in the FamilySearch digitized library.

Thank you.

In addition to what comes up in WorldCat, we have a physical copy in the Alberta Family History Society library in Calgary. I will be there tomorrow if you would like me to do a look up.

digitalcollections.ucalgary.ca has the digitized copies of family histories that used to be on ourroots.ca, but they don't seem to have that Edberg history.

It can still be worthwhile to do a search for Edberg and your ancestor. Sometimes other local histories from the surrounding area will have some information.

Thanks, again, Steve.  I searched the Alberta collection at Ucalgary.ca and found one really useful source, Sylvia and Florence Lundstrom, Memoirs of the Edberg Pioneers, 1955; https://digitalcollections.ucalgary.ca/CS.aspx?VP3=DamView&VBID=2R3BXZJNQ57UO&PN=1&WS=SearchResults; Acc'd 30 Mar 2024.  This was a great find!!!

 I am searching for histories of Hans Hanson (he was Hans Svenungsen in Norway) and his three children: Samuel Hanson, Carl Johan (Charles John) Hanson, and Ester Elin Hanson (married name: Braaten), who settled near Edberg in 1901.   My grandfather, Alfred Norman Hanson, was the youngest son of C. J. Hanson and Ingeborg Helene Halvorsdatter.   I really appreciate your response.
