Don Lowe also forwarded the following interestuing note to the author, Michael A. McKenzie in February, 2021.
Hi Mike - No need to list me as a source, already had a McKenzie descendant find me on the site and contact me (hope he dropped you a line too?). My interest is really only for my cousins who are Mckenzie descendants, my work on it is mainly for them. The fellow that contacted me is Stephen Hawtree of Kelowna, BC, he's a great-grandson of Agnes Myrtle McKenzie and James Cecil Robbins. He's early in his own research and must have to work for a living too(!), says his research time is very limited.
Was very interested to see the Oklahomans come to Peers, Alberta, the area is well-known to me, my family on both sides came to Grande Prairie, Alberta which is about 5 hours northwest of Edmonton, before a better highway was constructed straight south of Grande Prairie, we would take the "Peers cutoff" which was the nearest paved road that would get us through to a highway leading to Jasper, Alberta and from there down into British Columbia. The cutoff started at Whitecourt, Alberta, about 3 hours southeast of Grande Prairie, was about an hour long, went through Peers which was really "out in the middle of nowhere" and came out right in the town of Edson. Only other choice had been to drive almost to Edmonton, then turn west about 30 miles from Edmonton instead of east to Edmonton. I'm sure it was the land that brought them to Alberta as it was for mine, my paternal grandparents came from Prince Edward Island and my maternal great-grandparents from western Quebec. The land was just opening up in Alberta in the early 1900's, a person could "file" on a parcel of land, usually starting with a "quarter section" which is 160 acres. If you proved you made improvements to the land over a certain period of time (brush-clearing, home building, planting and harvesting crops, etc) you were given legal ownership to it. Think it was called the Alberta Homestead Act, people came from everywhere.
