Thanks, I was just wondering if they had family.  But I did find some in Drayton, so going to write a letter and see what happens.  Thanks again for your help.

oh a possibility.  Thanks.  Sandra where are you from.  Im guessing Alberta, because you can look up so much.  It is really appreciated.  What I am trying to find out through this process is where my grandmother came from.  My grandfather did the naturalization papers in 1940 and women didn't need to do it, so all it says is she came from a town that says like Yuzanee, Austria.
