Just sent your request to my daughter's father-in-law and his sister who are doing genealogy on the Gillis/Gillies family and they live in Cape Breton so maybe a connection or maybe they can put you in touch with someone. I believe there is a genealogy site in Cape Breton but not sure what it is. Perhaps someone could advise you about it. C.

The following was received from my son-iin-law's family. Their name is Gillis from the Sydney area. Hello Charlotte: I'm always interested in searching and researching!!! Anyway, I received the note re June Gillis. June is not a common name among the Gillis people. However, I did find something which might lead somewhere!! A Patrick Gillis, son of Stephen and Jessie Cash, who had settled in Whitney Pier, Sydney, NS. married Eileen Connolly. They, too, settled in Whitney Pier, Sydney, NS. They actually had 12 children, 7 boys and 5 girls, one of whom was June. June married Don Cashen and settled in PEI. They had two children, Lynn Marie and Tom. John Gillis b 1828, and Ann(Nancy) MacDonald of East Bay settled in Sydney Forks. John's son, Stephen b. 1861 married Jessie Cash of Big Pond. Stephen and Jessie's son, Patrick, married Eileen Connolly and they settled in Whitney Pier. Patrick and Eileen had 12 children, one of whom was June. June married Don Cashen and settled in PEI. June and Don had two children, Lynn Marie and Tom. If we are on the right track, I have found more info on this family. Waiting to hear if this helps the inquirer!!
