oops - sorry about that Claire.
I am certainly interested in the children of Frank and Cottie. As I mentioned, Cottie Sterling and my Grandmother, Laura Sterling are sisters, so I'd like to fill in that area of my tree for sure.
Claire - what do you know about Cottie's Grandfather, Cyrus Sterling??? I know he married Judith King and such but especially, would you know for certain who his parents are?
John Sterling and Charlotte Fillmore are not exactly definitely his parents.
Also, I heard a story recently which was basically that after Frank Hopkins abondoned Cottie and the kids in 1912, he married and had another family altogether in the U.S.A., and after this particular wife died he returned and our Cottie took him back in!!! But it is just something I was told - no proof of any of it just yet - I'm only mentioning it in case someone else may have heard this too.
Anyway Claire, I would certainly appreciate information on Frank and Cottie's children, and any Sackville-Sterling info you may have from that particular generation to present.
We recently met some descendents of Hiram Sterling and Lucy Crossman. They went to my Aunts house in Springhill, Nova Scotia and I went to meet them. It appears my family still has quite a few not so distant relations in the Sackville area, so Yes I am interested on any info I can sift through and thank you for the offer.
