Anne: There is a lot of information on Thomas WATSON and his family in the Melita History Book. I will scan it and send it directly to you. He had 14 children so surely there should be someone left even after all this time. There was a family reunion in 1980 in Kamloops, B.C. and maybe I can find some relatives there.
