But my Uncle Dale mentioned to me that he gets people referred to him all the time about info on the Dales. He then refers them back to the archives in Shawville as he says there is an abundant amount of info on the Dales & Armstrongs and of course the Hodgins. He mainly focused on the Thomson family tree as their name was not as long standing as the other 3 names in Pontiac. So when my sister and I actually get up to Shawville we are going to take a look at the most recent family tree book that he has. I will see if the names match with Walter and Barbara. My grandfather Lionel Thomson and his siblings argued amongst themselves as to whether they were of scottish or irish heritage. After they had passed away and only my great Uncle Ivan was still alive he decided that they were of scottish heritage and sailed out of Ireland. As you have stated they were actually irish. I will have to bring that up with Uncle Dale. By the way did you know M! erwood Dale - his father was Thomas Leonard Dale, Arletta's brother's son?
