Re: Searching for descendants of BEST family, Magdalen Islands
Hello Allan,
Nice to make the acquainance of another cousin. Are you the youngest or middle son of Donald's eight children?
My great-grandmother Jane was Robert's sister. She migrated to Australia and unfortunately did not have as large a family as Robert and Bethina.
Regards,
Janice

Hello, A little late to the party, but Robert was my great grandfather, Ernest Best was my grandfather. I'm in the Magdalens right now on vacation, does anyone know the location of Robert's grave? I've checked both Grosse Isle cemeteries. also, if anyone has information on Ernest's son Sid, I,d appreciate it. thanks. Dave Best

Re: Searching for descendants of BEST family, Magdalen Islands
He died in January 1929 and is buried in the Holy Trinity cemetery at Grosse-Ile, but there may or may not be a stone. No info on Sid unfortunately. He was not born on the Islands to my knowledge. If you can speak with an Byron Clark from Grosse-Ile, he's a fountain of knowledge on the families from that village. Tell him I said hello! Have a wonderful vacation. Wish I was there.
