I'm not sure if this is any help but all I know is that my grandfather's name was Blaine
Atwell. I was told that they originally were from Nova Scotia and he then moved everyone to Prince Edward Island. That is where my aunts and uncles still live. E-mail me back with ANY information.

Just wondering if you're related to Tom Blake, my grandfather. My grandmother was Leona Merle Blake and was crazy about that man Tom until the day she died 10 yrs ago.
Sorry I couldn't be of any help to your family ancestry tho.

Hello Dianne: I just came across your early entry for Dec 1999. Levi Atwell and Madora Atwell were first cousins (once removed) and married on 24 April 1909 in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Madora Atwell was my late father's sister. Her father was Allan Dennis Atwell. Levi's parents were Collin Atwell, born in Gaspereau, NS abt 1846 and mother was Mary Crouse, b about 1866 in Luzerne, New York. Levi himself was actually born in Saratoga Springs, NY so there is a good chance that Earl George Atwell was also born in NY. The family was obviously back and forth to Nova Scotia for many years. I do not have Earl George in my database, nor your mother Linda, but do have the early family on both sides. The Atwells came to the Annpolis Valley in Nova Scotia in 1760 with the New England Planters from New London, Connecticut. If you would like further information, I would be happy to provide what I can.
Sincerely,
Sandra Atwell-Tennyson

Hi Glen,
Lerenda's (Rhodenizer) (Atwell) Morine was born in Port Medway, Nova Scotia where I grew up and her parents were Sidney Rhodenizer and Winnifred Maud Croft. Her father died when she was less than a year old and her mother died when she was only 15. I'm a great grandson of one of Sidney's sisters and her name was Avernia Bell (Rhodenizer) Baker. she was the last surviving member out of the family of 14 siblings and she lived to be 104 years old and she died on November 12, 1992. I've also seen the marriage record for Earl and Lerenda on the Nova Scotia Genealogy Website http://www.novascotiagenealogy.com but that record states that Earl's middle name was Gordon. Feel free to contact me if you wish to exchange information about Lerenda's family.

I can't tell you much about your mom and grandfather but I lived a couple houses down from them, this would be around 1958, 59. Your mom was a beautiful woman with shoulder length black hair and eyes that sparkled. Your grandfather was a small man with prominent Canadien/Native American features. Their house at 158 South St., Glens Falls, was full of antiques. A friend of mine Robin lived next door and knew your mom and grandmother and grandfather a lot better than I.

Hope you were successful in your search.
