Hello Listers, I'm hoping someone out there may be able to provide some
information on this family especially the parents/ grandparents of Alexander
MacDonald & Helen Sutherland. I am doing research for a friend who has been
searching for information for many years(34), and coming up empty. Any
information on any of these people would be greatly appreciated. Penny plane001@sympatico.ca
