FAWCETT, Herbert Stockdale - Alberta

Yikes. That's a long link! If it doesn't work for you:

Google: Library & Archives Canada
Scroll down the page about 1/3 & click: Genealogy & Family History
Choose: Land
Choose: Provincial Land Records
Choose Alberta
Choose: Western Land Grants
Click: Search
Enter: Herbert Fawcett

There is a map there, but not a whole lot more. At least it will give you the land address.

  RedMystic if a link is too long, just go down to bottom of page and hit shrink a link and follow instructions...
Also you can modify to add more to a posting using the modify button...
Jeff had already given a link to the land records...the one directly from Collections Canada had 48 rather than 58 though... but he is in 58 on the 1911 although it says 57 on the transcribed portion...

The shorter url  to land records is http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/western-land-grants/index-e.html

Oops. TX for the direction on links J.J.  I should have just headed for bed as was the plan when I decided to peak in for the last time yesterday.

  Trust me, I make booboos all the time...that's why I found out where these things are...hehe

Welcome to the Canada Board AlbertaResearch, thanks so much for helping out on the thread!!
Ah, the dreaded Spanish flu, where helping a neighbour would find you with the same illness. Really sad.
I wonder what happened to the children?

I try to pop in once in awhile and see if I can help.
