The authorities in Nova Scotia sent my half-brother a message but he refused to talk to me. He said that my mother has diabetes, that only two of the 4 or 5 kids she had were full brother/sister, every other kid was by a different father, all of whom, apparently, were her employers. He seemed to imply that my/our mother was still alive. One of the kids was born in the early 60s. Does this match anyone in your family?
