I thoroughly enjoyed visiting your site and reading the
information. I unfortunately did not get a chance to read
all of it. I was wondering if you could help me with
something. My Father Donald William McKay has always told
us that there is a bust of his grandfather or something
along those lines, in the Museum. My father says that he
(his grandfather)helped in the capture of Louis Riel. I
don't dought my father, but he is very ill and does not
have long to live and we are compiling as much information
as possible about my Father's family history. Any
information you could give us would be greatly appreciated.
Every year when we were young, our parents would take us
from BC to SK to see the RCMP museum and training barracks.
From what I remember he was known by staff at the Museum
at that time.
I thank you in advance, if you could e-mail me with anything
photos, articles, etc. you might have on our family name we
would really appreciate it.
Sincerely, Wanda Gurney Wanda Gurney a.k.a. McKay <nlinnell@canada.com> Surrey, BC Canada - Tuesday, June 29, 1999 at 02:07:52 (CST) I am wondering how I might track down information on my great uncle, David Smythe, who was a Northwest Mounted Policeman at the turn of the century. Family history cites him as an officer who conducted the stagecoach from Dawson to Whitehorse at that time. I expect he would have been in his early 20's about 1901. I have a bracelet of Yukon gold that he gave to my grandmother for her 16th birthday at about that time.The family grew up in southern Ontario - perhaps St. Mary's or in the general area. Thank you for any "steer" you can provide. My history-teaching daughter is most intrigued by this story. -- Jacquelyn Lumsden Jscquelyn Lumsden <jlumsden@bond.net> Waterloo, ON Canada - Sunday, June 13, 1999 at 00:17:25 (CST) Is anybody from the RCMP museum interested in a picture of a former member of the NWMP ? I am a member with the Saskatoon Police Service. A couple of weeks ago an elderly lady approached me and said she had an old picture of a long dead relative in his NWMP uniform. She would like to give it to "somebody" and I believe, that your museum would be the appropriate place. Please let me know and I will contact her again and arrange for the picture to be delivered.

I'm doing a project on how the mounties uniform has changed and why. I need pictures from the begining of the North-west mounted police to now 1999 I also need info on why they changed the uniforms. It would be great if I also had how the extras on the uniform has changed, like when they first had a gun and when they got ride of their whips. Last I need a map of canada of where mountie posts used to be and where they are now (according to a legend). If you could send me all of some of these items it would be great. If you could respond to my letter by E-mail that would be great. Even if you can't send me any of the items could you please respond. I would also like you to give me you phone number so we could talk. Hope to hear from you soon, bye.
