    3. Hi Ivan There are a lot of Murrays listed in the Stone Book and it is hard on my old eyes trying to pick out the ones buried in Haliburton Cemetery, but here are a few of them. I will try and get some more tomorrow. 1. A. Ross Murray (1866-1921) 2. Alexander Murray (no dates) and his wife Martha (no dates) 3. Hugh Murray (1816-1891) and his wife Catherine Dickson (1820-1910) 4. Charles Cool Murray (1843-1889) (that may be Charles Cook Murray) 5. Duncan Murray (1848-1936) and his wife Margaret Chisholm (1848-1912) 6. Capt. Duncan Murray MD (1872-1927) 7. Esther Murray (1857-1924) 8. Frank P. Murray (1858-1933) and his wife Janie Murdock (1863-1954) 9. Ira Dawson Murray (1877-1880), son of Alex. 10. James A. Murray (1861-1863), son of Alex. As you will note, these names are listed alphabetical, and I only got down to the J's, so I have a long way to go. Hope this helps. Regards, Doug. S.

    2. Douglas Sinnis
    3. Sorry, I wasn't paying much attention to the request for the Seafoam Cemetery location, as I thought there would be quite a few reply. However if Ruth is looking for Falconers, I think she must mean the Seaboard Cemetery. I can't give you an exact location but there are lots of Falconers buried there. I think Alexander Falconer is the oldest buried in Seaboard. It lists him as Alexander Falconer (1809-1899) and his wife Catherine McKenzie (1823-1904) . There are a lot more. Regards,' Doug. S.

    1. [PICTOU-L] Found Bio Mom
    2. leonard baillie
    3. I want to thank every one who has helped me find my bio mom. It happened about a month and a half ago that I heard she was still alive and the Nova Scotia Community Services wanted me to send a letter for my mother and some pictures just in case the word came back yes that she wanted to be in contact with me. The word was yes. I was so excited. They sent my letter and pictures to the family and I just got word on Friday that they wanted me to phone the youngest daughter and we spoke twice on Friday and she sent me pictures of the family. I am suppose to speak with my bio mom this afternoon. I am nervous as it a hard task. The letter that I sent to them was the hardest letter I had ever written in my life. Hang in their people as your turn will come up. I never thought that I would ever find my bio family let alone moving this fast. I feel as though I knew my little sister all my life. She is so easy to speak with on the phone. Phyllis from Calgary
