Oh my goodness - new to RootsChat, and absolutely fascinated with this thread. Gadget et al, your research is amazing, and I'm hoping some of the original posters in this thread (Gadget and Lynwen) are still active on this forum! Taking a big chance here...
James Kennedy Burgess was my great-great-grandfather. His daughter Kathleen was my great Aunt Kay McLean, and his son Alexander Burgess (went by Alec) was the grandfather I never got to meet. Page 9 of this thread has some amazing info! Many of the links were broken, and if anyone is out there with some of the screenshots or documentation, I'd love to get in touch with you!
To fill in a couple of gaps on Gadget's reply #80 on this thread for James Kennedy Burgess:
Katherine (daughter) was actually Kathleen, and went by Kay.
Alexander (son) died in 1964. Married Jessie Farquharson. Sons Thomas and James Alexander (Sandy).
I realize this thread is old, but hoping to get in touch with some of the researchers out there with information on the Burgess families that came to Alberta.
Thanks!
