It could be STRANKS.  Can you tell us where you found it?

Carol

Thanks everyone.... I will query those suggestions. It is the surname of a Catholic sponsor in an adoption record. I am hitting blanks on the adoption, so I thought I would try exploring the Godparent.

Awwww thanks for the offer but he had no obituary, but I did find reports in the papers noting his death.  He seems to be a wisp of smoke. :(

Canada Lookup Request / Manitoba Archives - Probate
« on: Monday 16 July 12 17:10 BST (UK)  »
If anyone is at, or planning to go to the Manitoba Archives, I would sincerely appreciate a probate file lookup. I do not live in Wpg and am limited in travelling due to my son who has disability challenges. If I could, I would make regular trips there but am limited to what is available online.

I have all the file locator codes , etc.

Thank you!

Thank you very much RedMystic . . . I am a self-confessed Geneaology Junkie.  I will be starting my third year in University, pursuing a double major in History and Native Studies. I have perused and obsessed over so many databases and documents, that it would be a shame not to help others by looking over my own 'beaten paths'. Hopefully, one day soon, I will also a History Graduate in addition to a Genealogy Junkie. LOL

I found another article from the 60s that places him in Fairbanks, Alaska. When you do a present day search, one lady's name in Fairbanks seems to come up associated with them. Surname is Body... first name is a common Royal and Biblical name. ;)

I now have an excerpt from a 10/29/1943 Winnipeg Free Press article:

"Among them were Fred Body, a former member, who has been located in Alaska for the past few years..."

As of 1937, I have found newspaper archives, involving sports, placing Fred Body in Regina, SK.

Will keep looking....
