Re: ALEXANDER KENNEDY (1852-1935)

So did a little bit of research on Adelaide. Her scrip application on August 14 1899 states she's the daughter of Joseph Naquayamo and Chochoyahne (Baby Fondler). She was born at Trout Lake near Lesser Slave Lake about 1874. She says she was married to William Richards in 1891 but was separated from...

Re: ALEXANDER KENNEDY (1852-1935)

Hi PK. Good to hear that Pi's book is done. In regards to the Sault Ste Marie, there was a mission boat built in Fort Resolution in 1907 that plyed the Slave and MacKenzie rivers that was named "Sault St Marie". Alex may even have been involved with the building of the boat for the mission...

Re: Cayen

I think there are some people on here that can help with James Cayen's family but there are probably more than one James Cayen. Do you have a rough idea of when he was born or where he lived etc... Any information you wish to share about James might help in finding out more about him.

Re: ALEXANDER KENNEDY (1852-1935)

Hi Patty. Well you couldn't have picked a better man than Pi to write a book about. He's someone that all the kids who grew up in Fort Smith looked up to and a lot of us considered him our hero. I am honored to be able to call him a cousin and friend. There is some mention of Alex Sr in a few books ...

Re: ALEXANDER KENNEDY (1852-1935)

Hi Janet. Good to hear that Pie is doing well. His healthy lifestyle sure helped with that. I guess you must be aware of some of your relatives marriage and death certificates being available in the BC Archives. There are Gaddy's and Silman's in there. Also noticed an Ida Johnson married to a Gaddy ...

Re: ALEXANDER KENNEDY (1852-1935)

Hi Janet. Philip (Pie) is a good friend of mine. I used to be his neighbor when I lived in Fort Smith. He's also a first cousin to my mother. I also knew Charlie and James. Pie's mother and my grandfather were siblings. Pie was one of the last full time trappers who lived on his trapline most of his...
