Thank you so much for this info. You have advanced my search greatly. You say in your reply that there is more info. I would appreciate anything that you could provide. I wrote to the Newfoundland Vital Statistics Department and was able to get a birth certificate for my Grandmother (Greta), but they were not able to find one for my grandfather John Abbott. I gave them his birthdate and his parents names but they couldn't come up with anything. Any suggestions? Any documentation (copies) of my family history you could provide would also be greatly appreciated. My direct e-mail is
fmcsorley@comcast.net is that is easier. Again, thank you so much.
