Notes

  • Manitoba, Birth Index, 1866-1912
    Helena Unger
    Birth 20 May 1897 R.M. of Rhineland, Manitoba, Canada
    Mother Maria Neufeld

    In current city namelists, such as Find a Grave, Rhineland is now spelled Reinland.  The city list in Family Tree Maker (Ancetry.com) does not have a Reinland or Rhineland in Manitoba.   I have reported it under the spelling used in the birth record, as found on the Manitoba Vital Statistics website and Ancestry.com.
