[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] help with Behrend (Aberdeen, SK)

[Delores Stevens]

If she wed in 1907 or 1908 she would have been 18 or 19 years of age.  This 
was not too young to be travelling alone as that seems to be quite common at 
that time.  Is it possible this family came through Neche, ND and were 
actually married at Gretna, Manitoba.  So many of the early marriages for 
the couples that settled at Aberdeen/Bergheim district took place at Gretna. 
That may be worth a try.
