>From reading old letters which my Grandfather had stored away, I discovered
a  number of distant relatives who at the time lived in Alberta, and I am
amazed how hard it seems to have become to track them or their descendants.
1. Descendants of Edward Jeske- he arrived in Canada in 1923 and eventually
settled in  Namao, Alberta where he had 4 sons and 4 daughters- he was
related to Adam Eckert in Leduc, Alberta.

2. Adolf Mantei- arrived in Canada in about , very roughly, 1909 and worked
in Edmonton and in 1918 is working at Pokahantas, near Bedsen Alberta; and
is engaged to Ida Riske.

3. Adam Eckert; living in 1922 at Leduc, Alberta ;1923 his wife dies and he
remarries; he has a brother Emil and another brother whose name is unknown.

Do any of these names ring a bell for anyone?

These would all have been distant relatives of my Grandmother, Bertha Jeske.

Thank-you,
Howard Krushel
