Hey Janice,  My Family is from Peachland, BC.  Before that they were in Washington State, Lamont, AB, and Ontario....  My Grandfather's name was William Henry Wilson, his Dad was Allen Wilson and his parents were John (Birth 1831 in Monkland, Old, Scotland) and Mary Wilson (formally Wallace - Birth 13 Sep 1832 in Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire, Scotland).  I have info on Mary's father Samuel (but that's it) I don't have anything on John Wilson.  My Dad always said he left Mary and kids after coming over from Scotland and went to Australia with Mary's sister..  but I don't have anything to confirm.  Do you know anything?

 

Wow, that's new news.  I found your Grandfather in my Family Tree.  What a small world, I was born in Belleville, Ontario.  We moved to Edmonton in 1973.

Hey Janice, Really, you found a letter my dad may have written!  Can you scan it in the computer and email it?  if so, my email address is swilson0@shaw.ca.  If you want to give me your email address, I can add you to my Family Tree on ancestry.ca..  That way you can see what I have...  I was going through the tree last night and noticed there are errors..  I'm going to have to sit down this weekend and fix it...  Let me know... sw
