Just thought I would point out a couple of great resources I found for
digital local histories online (Canadian).

> Dear List
> There is a new history book out for the Endiang area in Alberta Canada.
>  Endiang is located just east of Big Valley.  The book has many family
> stories of the people that settled in the Endiang area.  This is where
> two of my Boehlke families that came from Volhynia settled.  While
> reading the book I found that there are many family stories of  people
> that came from German/Russian area's.  I will post some of the names and
> if anyone is interested I can give you the stories.  I will post some of
> the stories also just to give you an idea of some of them.
