William Medwed
« on: Monday 17 September 07 14:46 BST (UK) »
Okay, need some help please.  I have just found out my grandmother had a brother in Edmonton in the early 1960's.  That is when she died and I found her obit.  I was wondering can anyone find an obit for William Medwed from Edmonton.  So that I can possibly find more relatives down the road.  Any help would be appreciated.

http://www.weyburnreview.com/obituaries/2004/2004_52.html - there is a mention here of "Bill and Alice Medwed', Bill presumably being the brother of Velma Medwed mentioned there.

Also, www.canada411.com shows some Medweds still living in Alberta, possible relations.

I have found a cemetery Beechmount in Edmonton with a Donna and a William Medwed
MEDWED DONNA 1/7/1969 BEECHMOUNT 
MEDWED WILLIAM 9/29/1973 BEECHMOUNT

maybe someone could find an obit for these 2 people.  Thanks in advance
Jorose, I am going to run Bill and Alice through also and I am going to write a couple of letters out west but maybe the obit would help me narrow my letter writing.  Thanks

http://www.epl.ca/EPLObituaries.cfm - it seems obituaries for them were in the Edmonton Journal (along with a "Nick Medwed").

http://www.raogk.org/alberta.htm - there is one person here who can find obits from the Edmonton area, hopefully given those dates it will make it fairly easy for them.

http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/info/library.html - if not, you could always try to get a copy via the newspaper (or maybe the Edmonton library).

Thanks, I emailed the Acts of Kindess helper.  Will wait to see what happens there.  If not I will write the paper to see what happens there.  Thanks.

Hi, so i think i have found who you are looking for.  So William Medwed is my great grandfather, and also there is another William Medwed who is my Grandfather who is still presently living.  All these names mentioned above Velma, Alice etc are all relatives of mine.  Also there is something mentioned at the bank of montreal for a Theodore Medwed which is my grandfathers brother all though he has already passed.  So im sure if these are the ppl that you are looking for our family might have an obit on William Medwed.  Hope that this all helps you.

Avonhorn, Mary Medwed was my grandmother and her brother was William Medwed from Edmonton.  They were from the Ukraine.  How else will I be able to go about seeing if we are indeed related.  My grandmother married a George Kotchan in Fort William in 1913.  Let me know.  Thanks
