Hi Suann, I'm probably just grasping at straws, but here goes. My family name is Wyse and my ancestors came to Canada from Scotland. While checking the IGI recently I found information on my g grandfathers marriage date, his name there was spelled Wise. Now most of the information I've seen on this line seems to be in the USA. Have you found any connection to Scotland? My g grandfathers name was John Wise or Wyse, as far as I know he died in Scotland, his son, or one of them, Thomas, came to Canada in 1920. Some of his children settled in the USA. His son Thomas lived in New Jersey where his son Thomas now resides. If you find any connection will you please let me know.
