I am unsure of his place of birth. He told everone that he was born in Inverness, Nova Scotia, but I have recently received his marriage certificate, and it states Gardener Nova Scotia. I have applied for his birth certificate, but the government of Nova Scotia say they have no record of him. The Nova Scotia Mailing list people tell me that there is no such place as Gardener Nova Scotia, but there is a Gardener in Maine. I am hoping that someone can help locate my grandfathers parents names and information please. My grandpa told everyone a different story about his family, so no one knows for sure. The following is what I have been able to piece together about his family. My Grandfather was born on the east coast, possibly Gardener, on July 25, 1910. Around the age of 10 to 12 he moved with his family to North Battleford, Saskatchewan. This family was homesteading north of North Battleford, Saskatchewan, Canada. They had horses and cattle on their farm. My Grandpa ran away from home around the age of 15 or 16 and never had any contact with his family ever again. He never told anyone why he ran away from home. My Grandpa told his children, (my aunt's and uncle) that he had a brother named Mitchell, a sister named Evelyn and one named Carolyn. Eveyln was suppost to have married and lived in the Detroit area. The possible names of his parents are Mitchell or Michael Ross and Katherina Ross (nee Roach). He might have had other siblings, but I know of no one else. Any information regarding this family would be very appreciated. Please contact me at rsgabriel@shaw.ca Thank you Carol Gabriel
