Hi,
I love this site! Two of my best friends are going to join the RCMP and I have several relatives (distant ones) who are members already. It's really cool to learn about the history of the RCMP and what they have done.
Bye, Terry Terry Watson <TW1294a@NOSPAM.connet.com> Vancouver, BC Canada - Tuesday, September 21, 1999 at 09:53:14 (CST) I am looking for information on my Great Uncle Joseph Browning who was a member of the NWMP at the turn of the century. Any assistance would be appreciated - even if it is suggestions of other places I can look. Thanks John Browning <browning@dreamscape.com> Hubbardsville, NY USA - Tuesday, September 07, 1999 at 20:32:35 (CST) I am looking for information on Thomas Dixon who was one of the signers on Signature Rock down in Writing On Stone Prov. PArk. Anything sent would be greatly appreciated. Chris Morley Browning <browning@dreamscape.com> Hubbardsville, NY USA - Tuesday, September 07, 1999 at 20:02:00 (CST)
Hello again, I placed an order a few days ago for some articles I wish to send to some send to some police personnel we met in Britain recently. Just want to be sure our order actually went through, because there didn't seem to be a verification. (My credit card was used for payment.) I did e-mail Friends of the Museum, of which I am a supporter, being retired from the RCMP, but maybe that was not the place to send my query. Please let me know if order has not been received and I will place same again. Yours, J. Dixon John Dixon <johndixon@bc.sympatico.ca> White Rock, BC Canada - Wednesday, August 18, 1999 at 19:15:56 (CST) Was nice to "discover" this site on the Web! I had the opportunity to visit your museum during July 1997 while I visited my brother who is a medical physician there in Saskatchewan. It was great to wander through the museum and much to our surprise there was also one corner that featured the Anglo Boer War in South Africa a century ago (1899-1902), in which some Mounties also took part (unfortunately on the enemy-side!) It was also more interesting for me due to the fact that I am also a law enforcer! I am a superintendent in the S A Police Service, attached to the Legal Department and am a policeman for almost 14 years! My host when visiting your museum was Sergeant John Hiebert, commander at the Watrous Detachment (the town where my brother practised at that stage).I wander if John is still attached to the Watrous Detachment, and if so, I would appreciate your help in trying to contact him again, just to say hi. I also have this dream to become a "Mountie" one day and are planning to emmigrate to Canada soon. Perhaps you could give me more information as to what your recruitment-requirements are. Thanks for your great site. So long! Harry le Roux Harry le Roux <mhleroux@x-stream.co.za> Bellville, Western Cape Rep. of South Africa - Tuesday, August 10, 1999 at 13:06:17 (CST) Found your site interesting however i am trying to locate some information for a friend . His Great Uncle was on the RCMP and became estranged from the family and was hoping to find some information on him when he was with the force. Can you give me any suggestions on how I can go about doing this.His name was Simon Lineka or Linaker born May 12 1892 and belonged in the 10th Ballion Canadian Expeditonary Force.He was born in the UK and lived in Edmonton. Any information or how to go about a serch for information would be very helpful. Thank you in advance Vicki Demelo e-mail vickidee58@hotmail.com vicki demelo <vickidee58@hotmail.com> woodstock, on Canada - Sunday, July 11, 1999 at 12:20:15 (CST) My great grandfather Ernst Snell was a mountie many years ago and from what we can tell it was before the turn of the century. He retired from the regiment to become a police officer in a community west of Winnipeg.The name of the town escapes me at present. His service revolver was on display at the museum when my wife and I went west about 15 years ago. ( Of interest his second wife 40 years his junior was still alive at the time) We have a hand painted portrait of him wearing the pill box style hat but we are not certain if that was artictic impression or if it was a true representation. We have heard of 2 stories related to his service which are now part of family lore. We are interested in knowing if we can find out more about his service career. When and where did he serve etc. How would one go about looking for this information? Many thanks Peter Graham Peter Graham <pg2150@aol.com> Oakville, ON Canada - Friday, July 09, 1999 at 18:08:29 (CST) I really enjoyed your website. It had a lot of information about the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It helped me to prepare my goal as a RCMP officer. I am doing a lot of things that will enhance my goal as becoming an officer. I am looking forward to attending the RCMP depot in Regina. My other goal in life is to come out with an university degree in Crimiology and then apply to the RCMP. Right now I am a second year university student. Yours Truly, Karen Manuel Karen Manuel <karate_kid41@hotmail.com> Springdale, NF Canada - Thursday, July 08, 1999 at 13:04:23 (CST) |
