We need help identifying the gentleman on the top left! Top right is Harry Clarke Bottom left is George Clarke and bottom right is Stubb Lapp! 2005.29.15 Clarke, Warren and Rachel

This chap seems to be sharply dressed perhaps for a wedding as suggested by the boutonniere pinned to his lapel! If you have any leads regarding who this may be - please let us know! Lizotte, Maria 2019.24.400

Do you recognize this Lady? The most information we have on her is "woman inside of Teepee" and that isn't even correct - teepees don't have centre poles like the one she is leaning on! *EDIT* This is Therese Judd in camp. Wife of Angus Judd. 990.4.66.2 Mitchell, Ray

Thanks to quick responses we were able to determine that this couple is Narcisse and Elsie Lizotte! 990.4.79.135 Reid, Gordon

This photo is labelled as merely "Family at Fort Vermilion. We believe there must be much more history then that and require your help! 998.5.23.48 Lamberton, Rev Hugh + Lillian

This photograph is labelled as "Family in front of Cabin" clearly there is a bit more to the picture considering the twins sitting in front and the sizeable deer head that the person on the right is casually holding! If you recognize anyone please let us know! 990.4.1.47 Ardley, Mary

This picture comes from the Maria Lizotte collection and the young lad playing the guitar is labelled as Clifford Pettman - we are hoping you can help identify the older gentleman! Note the date at the bottom of the photo is "Jan 58" 2019.24.628 Lizotte Maria

Look at this wedding photo! Him with his large boutonniere and cheeky grin and her bouquet must have looked stunning in full color! Problem is - we have no idea who they are! 990.4.79.161 / Reid, Gordon

Anyone remember who was rodeo queen in 1979? The lady on the right is wearing the rodeo queen sash from that year! We also are unsure of the gentleman on the right. It seems he has won a trophy that has horses on the top. Any leads are appreciated! *update* Thanks to our Facebook Friends we are able to identify the gentleman on the left as Clarence Fournier and the rodeo queen on the right as Sherry Kazonay 2019.24.264 / Lizotte, Maria

This group is a class of Gwyn Bailey Cook's from the Lambert Point school. They are showing off their handiwork from school - which seems to range from toys, international studies and advertising that milk is Healthy! Let us know if you recognize anyone! 990.4.3.3 Cook, Gwyn Bailey

Look at these Cuties! They don't appear to impressed with the photographer and our best guess is they are siblings. Perhaps this is a 'Baby' picture of someone you know! Comment below if you have any leads! 990.4.106.39 / Ward, Vera

We believe Sarah Charles is the Elderly lady in the middle with Harry Cardinal and Lillian (Charles) Cardinal on her right. We need help identifying the 4 younger people on the left side of the group. If you can confirm or help identify these individuals we would certainly appreciate it! *EDIT* The individuals from L-R have been identified as Steve Cardinal, Pete Lizotte, Marie Lizotte, Jane Lizotte. 990.4.20.23 / Ducharme, Iola

This young lady is potentially a school teacher - though we aren't sure who. If you look close you will notice that what appears to be a pile of clothes on the chair is in fact a child hiding themselves from the camera - and doing a splendid job of it! 2005.24.23 / Schartner, Bob

This young gentleman has a suave look about him. Perhaps it comes from his casual stance holding the guitar and perched on the edge of a wheel barrow; or his inquisitive arched brow. In any case we do not have record who this may be- if you have any leads please let us know! 990.4.106.37 / Ward, Vera

This photo comes from the 1983 Hew Chaw Daze Talent show. This lady is beautifully dressed and were sure sounds just as good - we just aren't sure who she is! Bonus Question- We also don't know who the gentleman in the background is. He seems to be the presenter in other photos - but thats the best we have! *EDIT* This performer has been identified as Lorraine Auger and the gentleman in the back as Mark West. 998.1.60.169 / Newman, Jack and Pearl

This picture was taken by Tony O'Carroll who was a teacher at the Sperate school in 1966. We know that the drummer second from the left is Roly Auger - the other three we are unsure about! Mr. O'Carroll also took video footage of these young drummers which is a part of "Scouser shoots the Fort" and is on sale for $20! The footage doesn't have audio as technology was not that advanced- but is still very interesting none the less! 2016.03.145 / O'Carroll, Tony

This picture appears to be a family at a gathering. The Gentleman on the left is wearing a clerical collar indicating he has a role in Church - but that is as much as we know! *update* The black lady in the background has been identified as Mrs. Clarke - not exactly the information we were looking for - but helpful nontheless! 200.35.02.30 / Bell, Lorna

All we know about this mother and child is they are well dressed! From her lovely cap, scarf and thick jacket to the adorable moss bag the baby is warmly wrapped in! If you know who they are please let us know! 2008.44.02 / Heritage Committee - FVAS

This picture is a bit perplexing - we have information that it is a double wedding on July 23rd 1934. We know one couple is Christiane (Moberly) and John Courtoreille and the other couple is unknown. Unfortunately we are unsure which couple is which! If you know please help us and comment below. *EDIT* We have learned that the couple on the left is Peter and Maria Courtorille and John and Christiane are on the right. Peter and John are brothers! 990.4.15.11 / Campbell, Edith

This appears to be a family photo of 4 (?) generations - none of whom we are able to identify. There is no date attached to the photo but based on the hair style, patterns of clothing and fancy winged glasses our best guess is sometime in the 60's. *EDIT* This is the Roberts Family. Starting to the back left is Donna Roberts and the child is Leon Mercredi. Next to her is Celine (Moberly) Roberts, Vina (Roberts) Marten, Norbert Roberts, Emilie Roberts, Chuck Badger (former spouse to Emilie) Norbert’s parents in front Claudell and Thomas Roberts’s 2000.35.02.12 / Bell, Lorna

This young girl is at the Experimental Farm in Fort Vermilion picking red currants! She likely was posing as a model since our information focuses on the fact that they are "Stephens #4 red currants". We also have a second photo in which she is posing with the currant bush. We don't care about the currants though - we want to know who she is! The picture is taken in July of 1946, if you have any leads - comment below! *EDIT* This young lady has been identified as Marjorie Clarke! 993.4.59.130 / Agriculture Canada

We are unsure where this picture was taken. We think the gentleman in the centre (Black Coat) is Harry Borbridge - he spent time all over northern Alberta. The other individuals are potentially a family that hosted him on his adventures. In any case we know very little about these people and would love to know more! Drop any details you wish to share in the comments! 990.4.79.167 / Reid, Gordon PS. how cute is the girl and her sled dog in training in the front? *EDIT* The Group has been identified as such (L-R) Maria Tallcree, Florence Nanooch, Nancy Metsikassus, Father Vandersteen, and Fred Tallcree. The other people are still unknown.

This wonderful photograph comes from the Rocky Lane School Collection. We are assuming that the relations are a mother and her two sons - but we could be wrong about that. We don't know a date for the picture - but, considering the boys are wearing Knickers (Pant style popular for men and boys in the latter half of the 19th century), this picture is likely late 1800's. As always if you know any more details - please comment below! 990.4.81.69 / Rocky Lane School

This week we have a large group of unknown individuals. They appear to be on the deck of a ship, and, noting the hills in the back, are likely closer to Peace River. We can identify the gentleman in glasses as Premier Brownlee who toured this northern area in 1929. If you recognize any of the others please let us know! 995.25.1 / Heritage Committee FVAS

This gentleman is caught in the middle of a job which appears to be fixing or unplugging a John Deere Grain Binder. The photos date is August 14 1952 and comes from the Experimental Farm collection. Let us know if you recognize this hardworking chap! With more research we discovered the payroll records for the Experimental Farm from 1952. Laborer's hired from Aug 1- 30 of 52' are as follows. E. Charles / A. Flett / R.W. Knight / A. McLean / J. A Newman / A.R. Campbell / Allan Charles, Cecil Charles, Ernest Charles, O. McAteer Murray Mitchell R.W. Randle, Ernest Smith, P. Tardiff (Junior Labourers) / R.A. Clarke / G. Flett / M. Gross / Mrs. M. Lapp / E.M. Lawrence / A. McAteer / O. McAteer / R. McLean / Wm. McLean / G. Mitchell / A. Lizotte / R. Randle / E. Rivard. Do any of these names match the fellow working? 993.4.37.4 / Agriculture Canada

None of the individuals in this photo are officially identified, however, we have a few guesses. After cross referencing other photos we think the lady on the left is Eliza (Chalifoux) Paul and seated next to her on the right is Liza (Lambert) Paul. If this is correct (and they are seated in front of their husbands) then the gentleman on the left would be Clement Paul and on the right would be his brother Fred Paul. Again, we are not sure about this - if you can confirm or deny our suspicion please let us know! *EDIT* We have confirmed that these are the Paul Brothers, Clement on left Fred on right, with their wives sitting in front, Eliza (Chalifoux) Paul on left and Liza (Lambert) Paul on the right. 990.4.79.186 / Reid Gordon

Looks at these chaps all dressed up! We think the one in the front on the left is Michel Lambert and it could be Willie Clarke beside him on the right. We are fairly certain that George Lambert is in the back on the right. We don't know who is donning the hat in the back left. If you can confirm / deny / enlighten us on who these men are we would sure appreciate it! 2019.24.08 / Lizotte, Maria *EDIT* The Gentleman front left is Malcolm Mitchell and Front Right is Willie Clarke.

It's not a great quality photograph but we're sure they are great quality people; problem is - we have no idea who they are! The photo is part of the David Harrison collection and we know David's mother Violet Harrison is the lady in the back on the right. Walter Edward Harrison (Violets Husband) was Reverend of St Luke's Anglican Church from 1926 - 1930. This photo comes from that time period. 2000.50.02 / Harrison, David

These young bucks look to be having an excellent afternoon. The vehicles and teacups on the running boards tell us they are part of a larger picnic group which they appear to be enjoying. Jim Henry is the smartly dressed boy on the left and his younger brother Bruce is the child in front wearing the white shirt - the others are unknown. Jim and Bruce are sons of Norman Henry who was the Manager of the HBC post in Fort Vermilion from 1931- 1937. 2003.08.08 / Henry, Jim

This picture is taken during unfortunate circumstances, as what appears to be four brothers, carry a coffin to the St Louis church gravesite in Buttertown. It is unknown whos funeral this procession is for nor who the pallbearers are - if you have any insight please let us know! ----EDIT---- We have been able to identify the gentleman on the left as Mac Lambert the man in front as John James Lambert and the fellow third from left as Charlie Lambert. 2005.24.14 / Schartner, Bob

Our best guess is that this is the Boire family- but that is solely based on the fact that the young girl (front row second from left) is holding a camera identical to one we have in our collection that belonged to Rachel Boire. This also dates the images as being older then 1934 as that is when Kodak began manufacturing the camera! 990.4-81-13 / Rocky Lane School

This fellow appears to be the ferry operator on the second edition of the Fort Vermilion ferry This ferry operated just downriver from where the bridge stands today - the first edition crossed the River opposite the Old Bay House. He appears to be cranking on a lever that winds up the end board of the ferry to prevent wagons and trucks from rolling off. The photo was taken by Gwyn Bailey Cook who was the teacher at Lambert point school for the 1948 school year! 990.4.3.49 / Gwyn Bailey Cook

A photo of champions - many of which may be on Facebook! If you recognize someone tag them so they can relive this wonderful memory! We can then also update our records - as currently they are labelled as "Unknown Athletes". --EDIT-- Back row: Arlene Courtoreille, Pam Cardinal, Lorraine Mercredi, Lynette Cardinal, Darlene Paul, Gail Rosenburger. Front row: Val Courtoreille, Norma Mitchell, Belinda Lafferty, Suzanne Rosenburger, Perl Cardinal 2000.35.02.62 / Bell, Lorna

Of the eight people in this photo we know that Lillian Lamberton is the lady third from the left. If you can help us identify the others that would be greatly appreciated! 998.5.23.125 / Lamberton, Hugh + Lillian

These two are standing in front of their sleigh dressed in their Sunday best! Despite the snow on the ground they seem to be quite comfortable without big winter parkas - perhaps a clue that it is spring time. Another clue is the laundry on the line that you can see in the back ground just off the mans right arm. While you are looking close - check out those elaborate gloves he is sporting! --EDIT-- Kind folks on Facebook were able to identify these two as Charlie and Lena (Bellerose) Lambert! 990.4.79.233 / Reid, Gordon

The photograph of these young adults is dated 1938. They are standing on the banks of the river and it almost seems as though they are hiding something - both arms behind their backs! If you know who they are or what they may be up to - let us know! 990.4.42.11 / Haessel, Karl

We have a whole group of unidentified individuals this week! We are getting strong family vibes from the crew and the photo comes from the Newman, Jack + Pearl collection - so there could be a connection there! The one note we have about the photo is "Grannie Partch, Grannie Porche". We are unsure if those are variations in spelling the same name or if in fact there are two Grannies with similar names in the photo. If you have any leads - please let us know! ---EDIT--- L to R: Mrs Partch, Mrs Ward-Rivard (back row), Peggy Tardiff, Bill Grosnick (sp?), Mrs Dorothy Tardiff (back row), unknown, Deirdre Lizotte, unknown, unknown. Wedding of Peggy Tardiff and Bill Grosnick. 998.01.60.08 / Newman, Jack + Pearl

The description we have for this photo is "Chief and Family - Peace River area". If you look closely at the right hand of the man in front,it appears to be disfigured which may be helpful in identifying him! It is also possible the hand is fine and rather the image is distorted / shadowed due to rudimentary photography. 2015.27.29 / Nugent, Mike ---EDIT--- This gentleman is Duncan Testawitch

This photo is labelled as "Mary Ardley and one of the Cardinal Girls at Buffalo head prairie". We are assuming Mary is the lady on the left as her name is first in the description. If you recognize this particular Cardinal lady please let us know! 990.4.1.28 / Ardley, Mary

This gentleman has quite a stockpile of pelts, which appear to be stretched and cured. He is also donning a thick fur coat. Unfortunately we don't have any leads on who he might be - let us know if you do! 990.4.3.40 / Bailey, G. Cook

These fine looking lads are the boy scout group from 1967! You can see most are nicely dressed in uniform with neckties, hats, and badges. We don't have labels or identification for any of the individuals and would love your help in this manner! Let us know which row they are in and how far from the left. Better yet (if you can) send us a screen shot and a name! 2015.50.02 / Rudakewich, Mike

This appears to be a family enjoying their time with what appears to be a 1926 model T Ford Car. Many of the childrens faces cannot be seen but we are hoping you can help us identify the parent couple and some of the children if possible! 990.4.79.235 / Reid, Gordon

The only caption we have for this photo is "Man in Canoe beside float plane". Which is fine because it accurately describes the photo - but we would love to know who the man is! 998.5.23.103 / Lamberton, Rev. Hugh + Lillian ---EDIT--- Reserach into the call number of the plane informed us that the aircraft was likely the one Stanley Warren flew when he tragically crashed in 1941. It is possible then that the gentleman in the boat is Stanley Warren - though we must remember that proximity does not equal relation.

Does anyone recognize this youth? They are standing in a pile (or should we say mountain) of sawdust and look generally pleased about it! The photo comes from the Mandelin, Rose Collection and is not dated! 996.53.2 / Mandelin, Rose

In our records we have this photo listed as "Frenchie Lambert and Unknown". We are unsure which one is "Frenchie" and are seeking your input in determining which fellow he is! If you know who the "Unknown" person is we would also appreciate that information! 990.4.49.206 / Reid, Gordon

Our guess is that these fine looking folks are a group of teachers from the 60's. Teachers -because the gentleman on the right looks like Tony O'Carroll and it comes from the Lorna Bell Collection. 60's - because the fashion of glasses and dresses. We may be very wrong with that assessment - please let us know any further information you may have! 2000.35.02.25 / Bell, Lorna

Anyone recognize these fine folks? The photo comes from the Bailey G, Cook collection if that gives a clue! 990.4.3.27 / Bailey G, Cook.

Look at this cutie perched atop a majestic horse! They appear to have a good grip on the mane of the horse - which is good as the horse is not tied! However, if you look close you can spot adult legs on the other side of the horse indicating an adult is overseeing the situation! Let us know if you recognize the cutie! ---EDIT--- This is believedd to be Kenny Hamman - young child of Dr. Hamman. 990.4.79.87 / Reid, Gordon

Our description for this photograph currently reads "A man". With a bit more research we are speculating that he may be dressed in Zouave military uniform. The Zouave were a section of the French Military in Northern Africa - though the legend (and uniform) of them became popular in North America. Indicators of this uniform are the baggy pants, large tassle hat, and wide waist band - all of which this man has - now we just need to know his name! 996.53.10 / Mandelin, Rose.

We don't know the identity (nor the relationship) of these two. They are both grinning from ear to ear but whether thats from being in the presence of each other - or something- else we cannot say! Please let us know if you have more information on them! **EDIT** This is Bobby and Valle Gray! 990.4.40.5 / Gray, Valle

This picture says "Napoleon Lambert" on the back - but we aren't sure which one is him! We also aren't sure who the other two are so if you have any leads - please let us know! 2005.24.19 / Schartner, Bob

We know the lady third from the left in the light colored shirt is Agnes (Mitchell) Clarke. The others we have no way of identifying and would appreciate your help in that manner! 990.4.106.34 / Ward, Vera

This group of young adults look like they are having a great time one the beach (and judging by the serious farmer tans of the bottom three gentleman a well deserved break)! We aren't able to identify any of them so if you have any leads - please let us know! 990.4.3.34 / Bailey, G. Cook --Edit-- The lady in the blouse second from the left is Blanche Newman, the gentleman on the bottom right of the pyramid is Jack Newman and the lady atop the pyramid is June Newman. The lady in the black swimsuit far right is Gladys St. Germain (Wortman).

The picture is quite blurry but we know that left to right is Beatrice Clarke Morin, Gordon Lizotte, Helen La Fleur, Violet paul (Lindy's sister), and Gus Lizotte. The person we need help identifying is the lady on the right beside Gus Lizotte! There is no date on the photo. 2019.24.449 / Lizotte, Maria

We are guessing that this picture comes from Fort Simpson as it belongs to the Agriculture Canada (Experimental Farm) collection - whose personnel sometimes made trips to look at the experimental farm in Fort Simpson. In any case we are not sure who these individuals are. Your help is appreciated! 993.4.58.56 / Agriculture Canada

The girls in the front row (L-R) Are Olga Sanderson, Stella Sanderson, Velma Sanderson, and Alice Lizotte. The back row is where we need help identifying - the Two boys on the left are labelled as "A Sanderson and Lizotte" though we aren't sure first names nor which is which. Could it be Harold Sanderson in the black hat? The girls in the back (L-R) are Ruby Lizotte and Margaret Lizotte. Based on the apparent ages of the known children we are guessing this photo is from the early 1940's --EDIT-- The gentleman in the back row are (L-R) Eugene Lizotte and Clarence Sanderson. 2019.24.315 / Lizotte, Maria

We know the gentleman on the left is Karl Haessel but are not sure who his tennis teammate is. Tennis was a popular sport amongst a few community members with Karl building a court (as seen in photo) and a court constructed at the Old Bay House. The two men also look very similar - leading us to believe they might be a father son team, but we are unsure of the fathers name! If you know any further information we would love to hear it! 990.4.42.6 / Hassel, Karl

A fitting picture as we approach halloween- these trick or treaters are unknown. It appears they were successful as their various bags are quite full. If you recognize any of them please let us know! 2000.35.02.40 / Bell, Lorna

These two are unknown and appear to be standing in front of a temporary kitchen of sorts. If you recognize either of them (or have ideas about where they may be) let us know! 2017.42.08 / Lizotte, Maria *EDIT* This is believed to be John and Helen Lizotte.

We know nothing about who this couple may be - we aren't even sure if they are from Fort Vermilion! Let us know if you know them! 2017.37.97 / Goldsmith, Claire

Look how cute this little one is - it appears they have a snack in one hand and attitude in the other! We are also big fans of the wheels made of tin cans on the pram in the back - very creative! Let us know if you recognize who this little one is. 990.4.106.9 / Ward, Vera

This gentleman is struggling to win the Tug-of-war competition at the "Sports day" competition. Sports day was held every July 1st at the rodeo grounds and was a great time of the community coming together for fun and games! Let us know if you recognize this fellow (or the others in the background). 990.4.3.24 / Bailey, G. Cook **EDIT** This is Lawrence Lambert.

We believe this photo is a family shot of Parents and their two daughters. Let us know if you have any further information on who these people might be! 2019.24.109 / Lizotte, Maria **EDIT** This is Jean Laferte and wife Christine (Lizotte) with Daughters Louisa (left) and Mary Jane!

Our description of this photo is merely "Unknown young man sitting on a chair". We would love to this person better justice but simply don't know who they are! If you have any leads- please let us know! 2007.68.76 / Goldsmith, Claire --Edit-- It is suggested that this is Warren Clarke

Does anyone recognize this mother and Children? Our information is very minimal and only indicates that they come from the Peace River area - and we're not sure if that means the actual river or the town of Peace River. 2015.27.40 / Nugent, Mike.

Anyone recognize these two cuties? They are walking the runway at the fashion show for the 1988 Bicentennial Celebrations! The show consisted of many beautiful traditional outfits and early pioneer clothing styles. 2018.08.536 / Cranna Toews, Marilee.

These ladies are sitting on the lawn in front of the Hudson's Bay Store in Buttertown. It's possible that some of them are sisters - or perhaps just friends enjoying a summer afternoon! Let us know if you recognize any of them! 2017.42.49 / Lizotte, Ramsey & Maria

The description we have for this photo simply reads "woman and child". We will say that the porch in the background looks like the one at the Lawrence Ranch - but thats our best lead. We would love to know more about them if you have any information to share! 990.4.76.1 / Randle, Wanda

This photo is labelled as "Cousins Laure Clarke Christians family at Carcajou". Which is great start in determining who is who - but we still need your help to that end! The second image has numbers please put the number beside the name of the people you recognize! -EDIT- 1 Boxer 2 Jack 3 Skinny 4Neil 5Henry 6 Wally 7 patricia 8 Priscilla 9 Doris 10 Barb 11 Dad 12 mom 13 Russell 2019.24.448 / Lizotte, Maria

Anyone recognize these two men? There are no leads in the description and very little in the picture so far as we can tell! 990.4.64.01 / McAteer, Noreen

We know these gentlemen are the boys of Sheridan and Julia "Juey" Lawrence (seated in front) - but we aren't sure which ones are which! It's possible they are standing in order from eldest to youngest. There were 7 boys in the family named (oldest to youngest) Malcolm, Osborne, Stanley, Issac, Elmer, Oswald, Walter. We've added some numbers to help identify who is who - and we appreciate your help in doing so! 990.4.46.41 / Hopkins, V. --EDIT-- A friend has confirmed 1-Stanley 2-Walter 3-Oswald 4-Osborne 5- Issac 6-Malcolm 7-Elmer.

The description we have for this photo is "Check if Leonard Lizottes Kids". Can anyone confirm or deny that for us? 2019.24.27 / Lizotte, Maria

Does anyone recognize these individuals? They appear to be bundled in a sleigh (the man on left is holding reigns) and going somewhere of note (the woman on right is in a Fur coat). Let us know if you have any leads! 2000.50.04 / Harrison, David

This photo is labelled as "Mrs. Christiansen" who we are assuming is the matriarch on the left. Her given name is Emma and was married to Amos - they moved their combined family to Fort Vermilion in 1920 settling first near the Paddle (Boyer) river and then moving into Lambert Point to attend school. We are not sure who the girl on the right is - our best guess is one of Emma's daughters. It could be Goldie or Emaline! Let us know if you have any more information. 990.4.42.8 / Hassel, Karl

Anyone recognize these people? The man on left is clearly a "Man of the cloth" and the presence of snow - but lack of jackets on the ladies - indicate warmer (potentially Spring) weather! That's all great but we would love names to identify individuals! -EDIT- The priest on the left is Father Merriman 990.4.81.15 / Rocky Lane School

The picture quality isn't great - but we are hoping someone might recognize these two! They appear to be enjoying themselves with the task at hand - potentially on a delivery run. The date for the picture is C.1950 - which means "somewhere around that year". -EDIT- This is Peggy Clarke and Alvin Charles 998.1.60.137 / Newman Jack + Pearl

This photo comes from 1930, and though we are unable to label who the three gentleman are - the airplane call sign is CF-AQW. This plane was one of only 9 that were imported from Germany and were considered one of the best bush planes for North America throughout the 20's and 30's. They could carry significant payloads and sometimes even had canoes strapped to their roofs - an impressive feat for the "Junker" plane as they were called. This plane was likely in Fort Vermilion delivering the mail - in 1959 it crashed while fire fighting. 998.5.23.121 / Lamberton, Rev. Hugh and Lillian

Anyone recognize these two ladies? We have no leads on who they are or where they might be. 2005.24.01 / Schartner, Bob

Both priests worked and travelled throughout much of Northern AB, BC and sometime the territories. Let us know if you recognize these family members! 2006.01.411 / Societe Historique et Genealogique de Smoky River

We aren't sure who this gentleman is but he appears to be having a great time boating across the river. Also of interest are the buildings of Fort Vermilion on the River Bank. You can see the Fort Hotel on the left, then the Edgecomb house (most recently Grandpas Finest) followed by the Hudsons Bay company store (most recently Hydway Hardware) The photo is dated "1940's". Let us know if you recognize this man! 990.4.3.43 / Bailey, G. Cook

These two musicians are unknown! Guitar and fiddle were popular instruments at dances (which sometimes went all night) and there were a number of different families / groups that could play. Let us know if you recognize these two! 990.4.81.6 / Rocky Lane School

This photo is described as "Packing Reindeer at swimming point, Richards Island NWT August 1964." We don't recognize the person doing the packing and were hoping you could help! 2010.80.620 / Fort Vermilion Experimental Farm

Our description for this photo merely states "Couple with two boys".

These unknown school children are comfortably gathered on the fence in front of the Lambert Point school in 1949. They appear to be various ages, and could be all the students from the school. In those years only 8 students were required to receive some provincial funding for school operations - the building, supplies and other portion of the teacher wages being the responsibility of the community or attending families. This Lambert Point school is in ruins but still on original location in Lambert Point - find it on our digital map here - https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1DaLDWOdIkx98WeMedQtFdTe2FztYMMg and please let us know if you recognize these young minds! 990.4.3.8 / Bailey, G.

This is labeled as "the Marriage of John Rygus and Katie Kuieiuk" - but we don't know who is who in the picture! It appears that the other unknown couple is also getting married as their attire is quite similar. The date is November 3 1940. John Rygus was the son of George and Katherine Rygus - based on pictures of those two - our best guess is that John is the fellow far left. We don't have a reference point for Katie. 2006.01.243 / Societe Historique et Genealogique de Smoky River --EDIT-- John and Katie are the centre couple and it is believed the groomsman on the left is Johns brother Alex and the bridesmaid on the right is Ann Swarnitski.
