Bio and Links
Bio Photo I live in Brandon Manitoba and originally, I started out searching for my ancestors. Then recently, I decided to take photos of all the headstones on our local cemetery - which meant adding all the "residents" in also - this has turned into a full blown obsession and every weekend finds me stomping around the cemetery taking photos of headstones - a wonderful hobby.
My family tree is extensive, but my main lines are Montgomery, Barton, Rixon, and Nicholson.

Ernest Christie memorial Brandon
Thanks for the transfer!

He was the person who started Christie's School Supplies way back when in Brandon. I am only a shirttail relative of his but will look after his memorial until someone closer comes along.

RE: Charles Whitehead - Brandon Manitoba
Hi Janet:

Thanks for the info on the Whitehead family in Brandon cemetery. A couple of the dates differed just a bit from my research but I have changed the records to match the headstone inscriptions you provided as this is probably just as accurate as anything else.

Cheers,

Tracy (from Saskatoon, but born and raised in Manitoba originally)

Oliver M. Shewan
Janet, Thank you, too, for the photo of the grave of Oliver Shewan! I see that you have created pages for his parents, Alexander and Catherine Shewan. Would you be able to take photos of their graves as well? I can submit a formal request through the Photo Requests link if you like.

Shewan is a surname that originates in Scotland. It is not a common name, even in Scotland, so I suspect that we Shewans are all related. Shewans can be found in the five great English-speaking countries: UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Thank you for the photos you have taken so far. Your work has help to shed light on Shewans that I was not aware of until you posted the information.

About the Tourvilles in Brandon
Hi Janet,

Thank you so much for posting this info!

David Tourville is the brother of Napoleon. Marie-Louise was married to Napoleon.

I found out that David died in Manitoba years ago but never found out about Napoleon and Marie-Louise.
