Surnames: McGowan, Cole
I am looking for information on my paternal grandfather, John Earl McGowan. My father, Howard Forbes Cole, was the illegitimate son of Earl & Beatrice Cole, born May 22, 1935 in Eden Mills, Ontario. Earl was a farm hand hired by my great-grandfather William Cole. My father was 42 years of age when he finally found out his father's name, only to be told that he had passed away. If anyone has information about John Earl McGowan, and family (sons/daughters) he may have had, I would certainly like to hear from you.

Hi Percy. I remember going to Uncle George & Aunt Ida's with Mom and Dad occassionally. Dad thought the world of your parents. I was thinking a while ago about Glenda (?) Bev' & Marion's daughter, and Ross's family. How is everyone, and what contact can I make with them?

Since Mom passed away in January 2005, my husband and I and kids sold our house in Acton, and moved to Bracebridge in 2008. Big change for a girl who grew up in the same town I married and raised kids in. We love it up here - pace of life slower than south.

Hope all is well with you. Take care
