Good research. Yes, as far as I know from a cousin in Sweden, Alma came alone. Though this won't make any difference to research on Robert Orlando, I have put in for her Alberta death certificate just to see her COD.  I will never know how they came up with the middle name of Orlando for a 1/2 Swedish and 1/2 Norwegian baby...maybe to make him sound North American.

And my mother remembers visiting Robert and his wife in Edmonton in the mid 50's. He told my Dad to make sure he treated my mother well. I suppose Robert would have been a bit of a Dad to my father as Robert was a generation older than my father and their father had died when my father was just 12.

in the 50's before we went to France with the RCAF. 

Any chance you went to 2 Wing Grostenquin?!? 

We went to RCAF Station Marville...and we went over by GASP GASP a Royal Mail Ship. Now that shows I am OLD. 

I had a note on ancestry from someone today regarding my Uncle Robert Peterson.  When his father committed suicide in Banff in Jan 1943, Robert was a LAC serving at the airbase in Belleville, ON.  When documents show him living in Revelstoke, this is where his step brothers and sister and step mother lived for many years. So when documents show Robert in Revelstoke with a housekeeper named Mrs A. H. Peterson would be Robert's step mom. Agnes Hume Reynolds. My mother remembers visiting him and his wife in Edmonton in the 50's before we went to France with the RCAF.  Robert worked at the Edmonton Journal for many years.  I believe he has at least one son that may still be in the Edmonton area. He has a half sister still alive but she is not well. His full sister Aunt Esther has a son that was alive recently but I never knew him. I have contacted him before and he prefers no contact.
