The Canada information comes from David's two g-daughters - I would not have known he was from Canada. After 1878 he was living in Isabella County, MI and appears to be completely without family. His neighbors are from Ireland and Canada - I have tried to trace them back - but they all seem to come from different counties in Canada, if I can find them at all. David never uses a middle name - but his second son was named David Robert. His first son's name was GEORGE and his wife's, first husband, name was George, too - so I assume, he would not name his first son after him and maybe it was his father/brother - but I can't find a George either. Can you tell me - the 1871 Census - Canada is online listing head of house only - does the Library of Canada have an every name index?
