Hi Anne,
Good to hear from you again. I'm beginning to think we will never find out what happened to Hugh John McMillan. We missed a good opportunity some years ago with his dau., Florence McMillan-Johnston, who died in 2007 in Victoria, B.C. She did not have children and no one as far as I know ever asked her what happened to Hugh. Apparently she didn't care for him, and much of the family had the same view. Kind of a strange fellow I guess.
For the last year, on and off, I have been trying to find out who the family of his first wife, Eliza Lavina Thompson, was (my g-grandmother). I can't tell you how many Thompsons (and Thomsons) I've gone through without any luck. Although, one family I'm now researching looks like a pretty good possibility even though I've said that before, ha.
Eventually when I get some time I will pass on to you all we have gathered on the Hugh McMillan family on to you so you can add it to your genealogy.
If you don't mind, could you send me an email at this address to be sure I have your current email address:
