Ian, Any chance of finding out if there were any Anderson brothers who were officers under General Wolfe? I've come across some oral family history which indicated that we had 3 Anderson brothers in my grandmother's Anderson line who were with Wolfe, one supposedly when the general died. I wrote to Battlefield Canada in an attempt to find out, but I have received no response at all which makes me think that their funding is minimal. Good hunting, Cliff.

Cliff There is a program on here in Canada called Ancestors in the Attic...one of the episodes was of a woman who says her ancestor was with with Wolfe when he died. I don't remember the details but I'll try and find out. Frank McGonigal Ont.Canada ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cliff.
