Re: DeBAY, Alexander m. MYERS (nee JENNINGS), Eunice (16 March 1910)
My info shows that Mona Stevens was 1 of 9 children. She was born abt.1914 at Owls Head, NS to Timothy Stevens and Mary Ellen DeBaie. She in turn married an Alexander DeBaie whom I am trying to trace. The earlier Alexander b. 22 Sep. 1886 in DeBays Cove to James Edward DeBaie and Julianne Richards married Eunice Myers of Jeddore, daughter of John Jennings of Halifax. The wedding announcement was published in the The Evening Mail of Halifax, Sat. 19 March 1910. Hope this helps to throw some light on the part of the DeBaie family tree.
