Welcome to our home page.We are researching information on both sides of our family.
The KIESMAN family came to Canada from Volynia, Russia in the early 1900's. The name has also been spelt in the following ways: Kitzman; Kietzmann. I am not sure what it was in the old country.
August Kitzman came with his son William and his wife, Caroline(nee Schumann)in 1902 or 1903. They settled at Plum Coulee, Manitoba and later moved out to Moosehorn, Manitoba, Canada where they set up a homestead.
Daniel & Karoline (nee Schedler) and their family came to Canada aboard the NUMIDIAN and arrived in Halifax on May 17, 1904. They also settled first at Plum Coulee before moving out to Moosehorn.
We also believe that there may have been a son named Michael who came and settled in the United States.
Also we are researching the history & genealogy of the IVES/TANNER and MURPHY/GURNEY families.
Herbert Charles Ives (b.Jan 19, 1882 - Ashwellthrorpe R.S.D., England;m.Mar. 2, 1920 to Elsie Kate Tanner (May 25, 1886-May 27, 1965);d- Feb 22, 1976). Herbert was born to George William and Emily Zoe (nee Chamberlain) Ives.
Elsie was born to William Alfred and Amelia (nee Chapman) Tanner on May 25, 1886 at Twerton, Bath, England. Both of my grandparents emmigrated to Canada in the early 1900's.
My maternal grandmother was Annie Bell (nee Murphy); daughter of George Bruce Murphy and Rubena Grace Maria (nee Davies); Rubena was the daughter of Nathaniel Davies of Baie, St. Paul and Ann Nancy (Rae) Norquay of Baie, St. Paul; Ann's parents were Roger and Martha (nee Sauvage) Norquay. That is as far as we have been able to trace in the lineage. Roger Norquay was related (brother I believe) to John Norquay (who became premier of Manitoba). I am looking for information on the ancestors of both Roger and Martha. Martha was only identified as "an Indian" on the information we have at present but I would like to know where she lived, what group of First Nations peoples she belonged to. Also I would like as much information as I can find on the ancestors of Roger Norquay.
Any information would be appreciated.
