ARCHIBALD "ARCHIE" McKENZIE (1907-1989) (Last Updated: October 07, 2013)
Archibald “Archie” McKENZIE was born on Sep 30, 1907 in Mapleton (South of Selkirk, MB), the youngest son of Matilda Catherine BIRSTON and Colin Campbell McKENZIE (1866-1951).
This page will complete the ancestry for Archies’s son, Arthur “Art” McKENZIE, who made a donation and is collaborating in its preparation. Art’s lineage can be traced back to Angelique MALLOTTE and Roderick McKENZIE (1772-1859) from Scotland who was an early fur trader for both the North West Company and the Hudson’s Bay Company. ** MORE ABOUT RODERICK McKENZIE (1772-1859)
In 1915 Archie McKENZIE’s mother died when he was just eight years old. He grew up in Mapleton and learned to be a carpenter like his widowed father. He went to the old Mapleton School which was right across the highway from his home. ** MORE ABOUT MAPLETON SCHOOL
