Confession: I have a new obsession.
It has literally taken over my life. So much of my free time (and money) has gone into the genealogical hunt for ancestors. Who knew finding long lost family can be so addicting.
I’ve come across some very cool information (some not so cool) and made some very neat connections. The best part is, I’m not even close to being finished. I may never be finished!
One regret is I wish I wrote down more of the stories my mom and grandparents told me. I can only remember snippets of some of them and other stories are lost forever, I’m sure.
I’ll get into some of my neat finds in future posts.
On that note, I can do lookups in the following books for anyone who’d looking for connections to the past in Gull Lake, or the Corning area of Saskatchewan:
Highschool yearbooks
- “KIASKUS – Gull Lake Saskatchewan Highschool year book 1965”
- “KIASKUS – Gull Lake Saskatchewan Highschool year book 1966”
n.b. Kiaskus was derived from a Sious word meaning “gull”. Just email me the name you’re looking for and I’ll send you a snapshot of the text or pictures found in the book. - The Aurora – Stoughton School yearbook 1962-63
