I'm looking for information on George Ralph McKenzie b. abt 1910 in Lac Ste. Anne. He married by grandmother, Nellie Swerdfegger/swartzfigger in the early 1940 and have 4 children before the marriage ended. He was in the army and stationed in Chilliwack, BC during WWII. After the marriage broke down the children were placed in foster care, and no one heard about George again.

I have a few photos of him. He's fairly dark skinned, which makes me believe he's either First Nations or black.

This is all the information I have on him , so any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
