RM of Alexander, Manitoba, Canada

Tree: Rick Dondo's Family

Notes:
This municipality takes its name for the fur trade post of Fort Alexander that was located within its boundaries. (Source: Manitoba Historical Society)
For more insight into the name, your host highly recommends another resource; the volume entitled "Geographical Names of Manitoba", published in 2002 by Manitoba Conservation. (p 242 [Fort Alexander])

Saint-Georges is the seat of this Rural Municipality in Southern Manitoba.
Its borders have changed through the decades as population increased within its borders and in the environs.

More can be learned about this specific RM here (Source: Manitoba Historical Society) and here (Source: Wikipedia).

The stories of the lives led by the people who lived in this area are told in these volumes freely available to all in (generally) searchable digital form as part of the University of Manitoba's Digital Collections.
Your host has leveraged this resource liberally and many passages have been cited from these specific volumes and / or others as citations for people and families on this tree.

N.B.,*****************************************************
Some early birth, marriage, and death registrations officially limit their reference to the RM and would require insight usually available only to close family members to resolve with more precision.
Other references on this tree to events happening explicitly in the RM, especially "Residency", are most often a reflection of census data that has yet to be further analyzed to determine the pertinent homestead, village, town, or city.

One of the many currently in existence. This map offers insight into their numbers and administrative boundaries and this list is a gateway to more information about these extant and dissolved or abandoned regional and local bodies in the province over the years.
In addition, this timeline provides insight into the timing of the creation and dissolution of some of the province's second tier administrative bodies with the designations of EITHER "Rural" or "Urban". (Source: Manitoba Historical Society)
