• Lisa Henry (Elmire's daughter) has coordinates on her (legal) birth certificate. The "Place of birth" (for Lisa) says "25-43-27-2". When I searched the Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan I found (Under "Homestead index search") a listing for the coordinates (25-43-27-W2) as being the home of Gabriel Gariepy. That information is here: [1] . Under "Click here to Search for a Pre-1930 Homestead File", then enter the coordinates.
