I've been looking for the ancestors of my grandmother.
Her maiden name was Taker, born in Grosse Isle, Quebec, Canada.
She has always believed that her grandfather was a sailmaker from Finland, but Taker does not seem to be a Finnish name. Thinking it over, she thought that he may have then come from an area of Russia somewhere along Finlands border, but her brother says he came from England.
While doing my research into her parents grandparents I came across the spelling Teichert .. hmmmm sounds the same to me if the last t is silent. And i can find Teichert in both England Russia.
Has anyone missplaced a decendent? .. I may have him ..... and a whole bunch of other decendants from him..
He was named Peter Taker (Teichert) , he was married twice (that i know of) first to ? Keaton (Keating) then to (I believe) Katherine MacLean.
If anyone can verify this or add any facts , I'd appreciate any all help with the family line.
Thanks for your time,
Rose
