This is probably the easiest way to go...

If that doesn't work, try a search for a local public library in Moose Jaw and ask them (probably via email) if they can do a search in the local telephone books. Good Luck.

Maggie, it's a big country, with lots and lots of people. We are going to have to narrow this down a bit. Who are you looking for, when were they there and where in Saskatchewan did or do they live...

Looking to trace the family of James "Jim" Gadsy.
Born in St. Catherines, Ontario on 3 December 1847. Father's name is William, he worked as a blacksmith. Jim left Ontario when he was young, went to the U.S. and eventually settled in Alberta. There is a mention of a sister visiting him from Ontario.

labour=labor, neighbour=neighbor etc. The ones with the 'u' are the British / Canadian spelling and the other the American spelling, both are correct.

Yes, Ray, we are both correct. Canadian follow the British spelling traditions, while the Americans created new spelling traditions during the time of the American Revolution. Much, if not all, of these traditions were created by Daniel Webster, I believe. (The American ones I mean).

Interesting that in Canada one is a day labourer and in the USA they are known as day laborers. Are we both correct in our spelling of labour/labor?

From the online Collins French-English Dictionary at http://dictionary.reverso.net/french-english/journalier
A Journalier is a day labourer.

Looks like this is a pretty young site, but with lots of potential. I figure I might as well see where it takes me. I have a lot of connections to Canada in my family, even myself being born there although raised in USA. I lived on border first 20 years of my life and it never felt like another country to me, I was waved through the border LOL THAT does not happen now...St. Vincent Memories - that is my website about my hometown history and the history of many of the people from there. it's an ongoing project with hundreds of posts...it's been a literal labor of love...
