Mothers father homesteaded in Alberta ~100 years ago. He came from an agricultural community in Ontario that started from UEL's.

Mother's mother was a farm girl from Saskatchewan with a Scotish background.

Father's family is French and had been running around the woods for God knows how long. Someone with his name was around at the founding of Quebec. By the time my father came along his family was fairly prosperous in an agricultural community in North-Central Alberta.

Thus, both mother and father came from farming backgrounds. Mother went to university, became a teacher and then stayed in the city.
