Arthur Emanuel Bergstrom

  Research Notes:

** Sharons Tree on Ancestry, links to 1921 Canada Census

with this, I was able to find him in 1916 and 1926 Canada Prairie Provinces census, and through research (using SK Gen Web site) found the family history book for Invermay, SK. On a hunch, I checked BC Death Registration and found Anna Sethre's parents and then checked page by page for surname "Bergstrom" and found Arthur E Bergstrom, wife and his son. I haven't found any more information on daughter, Margaret. Apparently she married someone with a surname of McLeod and lived in Calary.
