Peter Sydney Robideau and Sophie Elizabeth (DeShaw) Robideau
Some members of the Jesmer (Robideau) Clan from Minnesota moved into western Canada in 1917. Peter S. Robideau was the son of Julia (Jesmer) Robideau. He was the first cousin of my G-grandfather Nelson A. Jesmer. Nelson A. Jesmer moved to Manitoba in 1901. His youngest sibling, Hubert Jesmer, moved to Moosejaw Saskatchewan Canada in 1912. And now we see his first cousin, Peter S Robideau, moving to Grande Prairie Alberta in 1917. Apparently they moved northward to International Falls MN and Koochichling, which is right there, on the border of Canada. There was timber and mining going on there. The Last great gold rush in north America was about to start in the region. His family may have traveled by rail to Albert, from NW Ontario, or they might have traveled by rail through the USA. I am not sure.
