Derek Francis Vincent
VINCENT Derek Francis 1928 - 2008 Passed away peacefully on December 14th in Nanaimo. Derek is survived by his two sons David (Yo) and Thomas (Jeanette), his brother Doug, his granddaughter, Jasmine, his sisters-in-law Ruth and Jan, as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews and lifelong friends. Born and raised in the Point Grey area of Vancouver, Derek was a true gentleman and a dedicated family man. He played amateur rugby for over forty years and donated countless hours to helping advance amateur sport in B.C. Derek loved golf and looked forward to his weekly round with his friends. Predeceased by his wife Ingrid, we take comfort in knowing they have been reunited. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to any B.C. sports charity that encourages youth to get involved in amateur sport.

Hei,

Det ser ut som Thor Christensen ble naturalisert som en 'British Subject' i Vancouver i provinsen British Columbia i Canada på 26. mars 1926. Han yrke var Timber Cruiser. Dokumentene om dette kan bestilles fra Statsarkivet i Ottawa, om du vil:

http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/naturalization-1915-1932/001055-150-e.html#c

Slike naturaliseringe dokumenter pleier å innholde mange opplysninger.

Mvh

Hei igjen,

Det ser ut som om han emigrerte direkte til Canada (og ikke først til De Forente Stater) som en ung mann som hadde nettopp uteksaminert med en grad i skogbruket. Dette er ganske logisk fordi han ble ansatt som skogbruk 'cruiser' i provinsen British Columbia. Også, det ser ut som om han først reiste til byen Toronto i provinsen Ontario som han hadde en venn der ved navn Olaf Nerby. Han hadde 2500 kroner i lømmen.

Mvh.

Erik

Hei,
Mange takk for interessant innlegg.
Ja, det stemmer at han drev i "the lumber business", som vi hoerte, og han hadde en fin
karriere i bransjen. Han glemte aldri Norge, og var flere ganger paa besoek.

Naa mangler jeg bare bekreftende svar paa mine 2 ovennevnte spoersmaal, saa er jeg
i maal.
