My father is Ramon Ivan Foan, born in LaFleche Saskatchewan. His mother's last name was Cathcart. His father was from London, England.

Hi Janine.
What was your grandfathers (born London)name? We may be able to connect your family.
Have you read other messages?
Regards Alan.

Hi Alan! Thanks for your reply. My grandfather's name was Thomas William Foan, and I recently found out he was born in Greenwich, England on Feb. 16, 1877. His parents died when he was quite young and was raised by his paternal grandfather (name unknown). When he was 15, his grandfather died and Thomas shipped out as a cabin boy on a passenger liner. He lived in Boston for a while, then moved to Ottawa, and ended up in Saskatchewan where he met my grandmother, Leora Cathcart. I've read the other messages, but I'll have to read them again since I received this information. Hope to hear from you soon! Janine

Hi Janine.
Will let you read other messages to find out information about myself. My email address is foan_new.uk@excite.co.uk if you wish to contact me direct.I am in contact with Helen in Australia and hope to connect our families. Also living here in Devon hope connect Victoria when I next visit local records office. I found your grandfather Thomas William on my 1881 census cd's. His father was Frederick C. Foan born Bridport Dorset 1851. No mother at that time, elder brother Frederick aged 5 years, and baby sister Maud. Frederick and Thomas are common in my family tree and the Foan's all seem to originate from Somerset/Dorset area. Also have record of Thomas arriving Halifax Nova Scotia, 1887 aborard 'Caspian'.
Are you in Canada? Years ago when visiting Vancouver I found Foan's in telephone directory but did not make contact.
Hope to her from you.
Regards Alan
