    We are both in the Croatian Research group, and I noticed that you are also researching the PAYE surname. My mother is a Paye. I have a pretty extensive Paye lineage, through the early days of New France.

    Hi, Robert

    Would love to correspond about the Burns. I am down from the eldest daughter Margaret (1866-1944) who married John Vint (1857 - 1922). Their eldest daughter was Annetta May Vint (1886-1966) who married Samuel Brown (1883-1936).

    Their only child was Donovan Samuel Brown (1920 - 2005) He married Alice Jessie Wilkins (1925 - ) and I am their eldest daughter Nancy Jane Brown (1951-)

    I have 2 sisters and 1 half-brother (on the Wilkins side).

    My Dad was born in Manitoba (grandma went back to her mothers' to have her child. Her husband was an oil driller who went all over the world, so I can understand that! When Sam retired from the oil business, he bought a house in Windsor, Ontario and that was where I was born and grew up.

    I have never been to Manitoba, but would like to go someday. Mom & Dad went in the early 70's and looked up a lot of Vint and Burns relatives while they were there. I have Mom's notes.

    All the best,

    Nancy
