One of Alfred beatons sons, alfred, married mary paul and I have said in the conversations what my theory is on her origins, but beyond ellen paul I do not know parentage yet. She is the same age as abraham, ben, noel and william paul or there abouts. I do not know anything of the chaulks, but! would be interested in all family relations. Our research is in the notre dame bay area, specifically exploits,dominion upper sandy point, botwood, and norris arm. Any info would be appreciated on the pauls as that is a direct line to us. Thanks for writing! I have lots of info on connecting families if anyone needs some. jackie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
