Thanks for your response. I am researching my exhusband's family tree for my 3 girls. Viola was his aunt. Any info would be greatly appreciated as there are lots and lots of Sam White's out there. And I have been in contact with Randi and Robbie with no luck. Not everyone is as interested in genealogy as me.

Small world! Randi and Robbie are my parents. I am building a family tree right now. Im just in the process of meeting with great aunts and uncles to get as much information as possible before they pass
|
Best of luck! Keep in touch and I hope you will share your tree with me. Randi and Robbie and Viola were all at my wedding (Dec 28, 1985) to Bruce White, only child/son of the late Donald White of Spruce Grove.

Ok that all makes sense. I wouldn't have been born for another 4 years after your wedding. If you have any specific questions please feel free to ask, and ill be able to track down the answer for you hopefully

I've hit a snag on John White (great name). I have 2 birthdates. 1 is from a war registry record (which I prefer) the signature is much like Gordon's (Viola's brother) and the other is from a family tree (which may or may not be right).
I have found that family trees prove unreliable, unless I can verify that they are part of the family. I prefer to use sources, actual gravesites etc.
Even my parents have not-so-reliable memories. So wherever I can, I try to back it up with a source.
If you're getting any info from my tree, ensure that it is backed up with a source citation.

Hi Kathy. I am Donald White's youngest brother, living in Mission BC. I can give you all the information you are looking for. Just give me a call.

Thanks for the response. As I am disabled (and have a speech impairment, too), emails work best for me. Obviously, I don't have all Donald's siblings. He and my husband Bruce (only child) didn't talk much about family. Would appreciate any photos you might have.
