[email protected] . . . INTERESTING! I have a grandfather, Theodore MONROE SHARP, born 14 January 1868, Waterford, Onatario, CANADA. His father, Theodore, born 1837, may have travelled north from the USA after serving in the Spanish-American War. (I may have incorrectly speculated that he was part of the English migration to CANADA, 1820-1840.) What is the derivation of the MONROE name in your family?
