Hi Myra: Was lucky enough to visit Ottawa a couple of years ago. Ottawa & Hull are like twin cities with a river separating them. We crossed the river to say we had also visited Hull. Think of Minneapolis/St. Paul and you will get the idea.

Aha! Did you happen to see a Catholic Church, Notre Dame de Grace in Hull? that's where the Brown children were christened, in 1887. I looked on line and haven't found a picture yet. myra [email protected] wrote: Hi Myra: Was lucky enough to visit Ottawa a couple of years ago.
