My One-Place Studies:
I live in British Columbia, Canada, but I have research interests in several different places:
- Norway - my paternal grandfather Peter Fremmerlid emigrated from Norway to Canada in 1929 with his parents. His ancestors are from Møre og Romsdal county, primarily the parishes of Volda, Hjørundfjord, and Ørsta.
- Quebec - my 2nd great-grandfather Pascal Lebel was born in Quebec then migrated to the USA about 1874. Many of his ancestors migrated from France to Quebec in the 1600s including several Filles du Roi.
- Acadia - my 2nd great-grandmother Henriette Williams was born in New Brunswick, where her Acadian ancestors settled after the Expulsion of the Acadians. She descended from several Acadian First Families who first settled in Nova Scotia and her mysterious Williams line is thought to be from England.
- Scotland - my great-grandmother Mary Saunders migrated from Scotland to Canada in 1912. Her ancestors are primarily from the counties of Perth, Clackmannan, Kinross, and Fife in the Central Lowlands.
- Germany - my maternal grandparents migrated from Germany to Canada in the 1950s. The ancestors of my great-grandfather Alfred Nieke were from Silesia, Prussia (present day Poland). My great-grandmother Hertha Hengst and her ancestors were from Saxony, and my grandmother and her parents Hermann Freitag and Meta Peters were from present-day Saxony-Anhalt.
Lookup Requests:
- I own the newer set of bygdebøker (farm books) for Volda, Møre og Romsdal, Norway, "Busetnadssoga for Volda". They are not available online, and I'm willing to take lookup requests.

The census puts her as daughter of Hawkins which would mean she did not have mother Josephine Chaisson and her LNAB should be Hawkins.
The daughter of Dora Downey is a live person who made these profiles. This means we have changed her mothers name and removed a presumed grandmother. I'd like to be really sure about this. Could you find the connection? Oh! As I was typing this I see you added her back. Thanks, Cindy

Thank you for finding and formatting the sources for me for Luc-Adolphe Breau. It's been difficult for me to do so easily on mobile, and I have been relying on one of my family name sites (which do have some sources, but I would need to go download them and verify some things which I haven't had the time for lately). I appreciate your work. :) I'm still new to Wikitree and figuring out how to do this efficiently!
I hope you have a wonderful day.
We've put together a survey for you to fill out to check in with you, it will only take a moment as there are only a few questions. Filling out the survey lets us know you are still interested in coordinating your study and provides an opportunity for you to share any suggestions you may have for the project.
If you have decided to step away from your study, please reply to this comment to that effect.

My ancestors also came from the southern Russian Mennonite Colonies, but I believe the Thiessens and Buhrs came much earlier to Mountain Lake, Minnesota, which I believe was another Mennonite Colony. I think they had too many children to find land for, and two of the families (at least), migrated to Saskatchewan, Canada, around 1900. (At that time, Saskatchewan and Alberta had not yet cut out borders or taken their names. That happened in 1905. The Western half of Canada was labeled Northwest Territories and settlers could obtain 160 acres if they could fulfill the homesteading requirements over the next five years.)
Do you have any information about Thiessens, or others like Penners, etc., migrating to Mountain Lake, Minnesota, about mid-1800s?
If you are interested you can look at my website, http://ebach.tribalpages.com. I have 16,700+ of my ancestors in that site (pass word is my husband's name, Andy) and you are welcome to visit it. You can also share information with me if you have corrections, or new names.
I was born in Saskatchewan, but I now live in Florida.

My husband's ancestors all fled Russia in 1929/1930 and emigrated to Paraguay, then later emigrated to Canada.
Thanks, Valerie

Thank you for joining us! I wanted to check in with you to see how things are going. How do you like WikiTree so far? Have the tips in the New Member How To Pages been helpful or have they left you with questions?

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.
Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.
Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles that you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).

Thank you for adding a GEDCOM. The GEDCOM does not automatically populate your tree it generates a GEDCOMpare report which you work through either accepting or rejecting all suggested matches, once that has been done, you add any remaining names manually
The GEDCOMpare process guide has tips on how to use the data in your file most efficiently.
For those using Chrome or Opera browsers, there is a tool that can help with the formatting of profiles which have been created through GEDCOM, so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.
If you have any questions about how WikiTree works, log into WikiTree and go to your profile. Use the ‘Reply’ link below my comment. Alternatively, click my name to visit my profile. From there, you can leave a comment, or send a private message.
Have fun
