	I have a grandfather who's parents were homesteaders on 160 acres near
Churchbridge, Saskatchewan probably right around 1900. My grandfather's parents
were named Olafur Loptsonr and Gudtrun Palsdottir. Do you know of where I might
find some sort of official record of them homesteading the land? I do know that
they gave up after a number of years and that my great-grandfather returned to
town to continue being a watchmaker, but I was wondering if there would be any
records of the homesteading.

	Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Paul
