    1. FELTIS Margaret, Mary; CAN > MI,USA; 1879
    2. FELTIS Margaret, Mary; CAN > MI,USA; 1879 Am not having a lot of luck finding more about my SCALES, McKECHNIE or JOHNSON (under #1, Alexander E. SCALES married Barbara Emily JOHNSON, daughter of JOHNSON and Barbara MCKECHNIE) surnames, so am trying a different route. Below is census data which has in-law relations under #2 with the surname FELTIS. Are there any FELTIS researchers with more? I do not know where in Canada the families came from, but do suspect Ontario. Thanks for ANYTHING! Bonnie Ferguson Butler skyvine@aol.com Bruce Twp, Chippewa, MI; ED 13, sheet 7. 4 of 5 residences in a row were SCALES: 1) Joseph SCALES b.

PA and mother Canada (English); son Clarence b. May 1892 MI [According to SSDI, May 19, 1892, d. July 1984; residence Pickford, Chippewa, MI] Am considering Joseph, Alexander, and Charles brothers due to their parents' having the same birth places, even tho the 'brothers' did not all immigrate together. Thinking Emeline is an aunt or even grandmother.
