Chronicles of Our Heritage

Along the North End Trail

           Community histories published by communities in the Western provinces are a great resource for genealogists searching for ancestors who left Lanark County for greener pastures. Some are available on interlibrary loan through your local library.

SPRINGFIELD, The First Rural Municipality in Manitoba 1873 - 1973. Published by Dugald's Women's Institute, Dugald, MB.  Jan. 1974. Printed by D.W. Friesen & Son Ltd., Altona, MB.  525 pages.

Compiled by K. Dale Scheer, Brentwood Bay, BC. and submitted by Anna Joan Buxton, who has this to say about the following book:

           (Sonningdale Memories) is a collection of stories 1900-1980, as written by the local inhabitants.  (It is) 433 pages and appears to be done on an old Gestetner, and bound by hand with tape. There is no ISBN number, and it appears to have been done under the Sonningdale Recreational Board (20 names of the collectors are listed), which was probably convened for the purpose by the Senior Citizen Centre.
           A letter to the Postmaster, Sonningdale, would be forwarded to the Senior Citizens Centre across the street, a good place to locate descendants who still live there.
           The Saskatchewan Provincial Archives may have a copy. Tim Novac would be the person to contact.
           The Saskatchewan Genealogical Society has a website, and they may also know if this book is still available. There is a Sonningdale Cemetery and this may have been transcribed by the society, which would no doubt give other Ontario names not mentioned in the book.
           Within reason, I can do copies for inquirers, of the individual pages where the excerpts where taken, bearing in mind that the names are sprinked throughout the book because this is a very small place, and much may be missed by just copying the pages under the family heading.
           Sonningdale was originally named New Ottawa, reflecting the origins of many of the first settlers, but the Post Office objected to the name, and it was changed to Sonningdale.
