I've done some brief searching and can find almost no sources for Cyril Ogston. Virtually everything I found through Google was a copy of this article or the three other articles that refer back here (Seven Persons, Alberta, Mormonism and Judaism, Mormonism and Islam). A search of the vast digital collections at BYU and the University of Uta and Google Books returned no results (except for a handful of Wiki-ripoffs again from Google). I was beginning to suspect Ogston was actually a wiki-hoax (like the United Latter-day Church of Jesus Christ) until I found him mentioned at the Orson Pratt Brown website, which suggests he is mentioned in:

  • "Mormons in Canada and religious travel patterns to the Mormon culture hearth" (Discussion paper series - Department of Geography, Syracuse University ; no. 1) by Klaus D Gurgel. Publisher: Dept. of Geography, Syracuse University; (1975) # ASIN: B0006D0Q5A Amazon.com.

This article lists no sources and it's possible Ogston is mentioned in somebody's doctoral thesis 35 years ago. Are there any accessible references out there? As a city founder, is he remembered by local historians or in the city's history? ——Rich jj (talk) 20:09, 14 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
