Ren, If you get this message thanks very much for the info package re:DUNLOP.Some blanks have definately been filled in.Its odd in a way that ANNE PATTERSON(spelled PATTISON re:Ont.marriage registry) appears to have left Canada to live in NEW ALMELO,KANSAS after her husband GABRIEL died in 1915. Oh well, 'nother mystery I guess. Have all kinds of info from Canada on MICHAEL NEVILLE and CATHERINE who were my GGgrandparents.Will send it along as soon as I get it entered into this confounded computer. By the way,I don't recognize the format of the hard copy you sent.Is this info available on some sort of genealogy disc or something? Thanks again.That sure was fast getting here!
