Sanders-Searle-Hannam-Parker-Triebner-Westaway in CANADA

About Our Family Research


I have been (seriously) searching since February 2000 (after 4 previous half-efforts spanning 15 years). A number of events have moved this from the 'wish-list' category to true action.

In the space of two months, the passing of Jackie, my dear friend and mother of my 18 & 16 year old childen, the wonder at looking through her cousin Laverne's history of their family centred in Newfoundland, Canada, my recent re-union with my brother Paul, my assisting in the process of 'trouble-shooting' the geneology software belonging to my friends "The Campbells" as well as the rediscovery of my mother's personal papers and old photos have been great motivators.


For the information I have at this time (00/04/11) I must thank my father and (step)mom, my brother Paul, Laverne Cormier (Bennett line), Kimberly Fraser (Sanders & Triebner line), Sheila Yeo (Westaway line) and members of my connected family.

Hopefully I can provide you with information that connects a branch to your tree. Please feel free to send me e-mail to add or gather 'leaves' from this garden.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Addendum 00/05/09 - In the past month I have found much more information about the Westaway and Hannam lines. Thru Sheila I have been in contact with a 4th cousin, Patrick. I have visted the Exeter Cemetary and have first hand information from headstones of the Sanders & Triebner families who were founders of the area. I have received a copy of a letter (from Lena at the Whyte Museum in Banff) written by my great-uncle Frank detailing the Hannam family and life in Alberta (1880's). My Great Grandfather 'saw the Golden Spike driven by Van Horne, thus completing the C.P.R. transcontinental railway'.
