bullet  Research Notes:

1. The Prestlien's, author unknown, [personal correspondence, about 1980)

2. More Echoes along the Ribstone; Czar and District History, 1978-2003; notation: 21 Feb 2009
- provides some information, but most on the Tom Flynn family

[ Note: on 10 Oct 2022, I can't find how I viewed this. The only place I can find it is through Library and Archives Canada - had I requested the book and it was sent to me through the mail or through an inter-library loan ?????
I don't know since I don't have a record.
On 10 Oct 2022 - I looked at various public libraries - Provost, Czar, Camrose, Lethbrigde, and Surrey but it is not listed in the catologues ???? ]


3. Echoes along the Ribstone, 1978; Flynn families: images 495-500 [pages 491-497]

Arthur Flynn and Leonora Prestlien - starts with image 495
- both provide names and some dates for decendants -
- much of the article is about Arthur J. Flynn but the image 497 records children
- image 500 and a little on image 501 - Tom Flynn family [re; Darcy and Danny]

NOTE: images 491-493: Thomas G Flynn family history - a number of siblings of Arthur J Flynn are noted
- this has an interesting paragraph on image 492, re; traveling on the train going west
- Thomas G Flynn was one of the early stettlers in this area - he came in 1906 and then in 1908 went back to ON and married* see below

- alpha listing starts with image 145; members start image 162; 182 with "page 20" last; it appears that some images are missing - for example, the alpha listing as the Arthur Flynn family for "page 24", but the last page is "20" ???

5. birth from Ancestry FT, Urban FT accessed 19 Nov 2020
- records birth on the homestead at Czar; died in Wainwright

Another FT on Ancestry:

Stephanie Reynolds FT [Stephanie Reynolds]; accessed 28 Jul 2022
https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/88283169/person/48565544455/facts
- her family relationship is through: a daughter of Tom Flynn [father of Darcy] who had married into the "Reynolds" family
- Stephanie is from Alberta - she had posted the obit for Lars T Grue
- BUT she has added a son to Simon Thorsen Grue (my 2nd great grandfather) as Johan J Grue, 1858-1940. This Johan's father was actually John Thorsen Grue, a brother to 'our' Simon Thorsen Grue

- curiously the above FT posts 3 obits - Lars Grue, Avey Grue, and Bertha Grue - Broen (Simon's wife) - why only these 3? - she also has some photos/jpegs that are fromt the Hay Lakes history book ... Each step ......

she also has another FT, Reynolds/Morrit and Flynn/Kristianson FT
