Hi there- wow I didn't think you would actually even respond :) Bertha is actually my aunt- my dad is her second youngest brother, Donald. I honestly don't have much info beyond what Aunt Bertha has given me but I am now at a point where I am really curious and would like to know more so I am going to be digging. I also have a cousin in Nova Scotia who might be able to help now that I am willing to start the process. I would love to chat and hear what you have learned. I was quite close with my Nana but only met my grandfather a few times when I was much younger before he passed away. I am in Alberta, Canada but I have free calling to US so I can call you if you'd like. Could you email me directly at
