Im back! Have a little more info as to my Stortts background! Not much, but in hopes that someone will recognize something here goes...Frank k Stortts birth Jul 12 1870, Belleville Ontario, death Jan 7 1944 Bosewell British Columbia, married Annie Kingston, birth Apr 14 1876, Montreal PQ. The only know facts of Franks father is Martin Stortts, birth-Germany, married Mary Jane Annette, birth Ireland. I have found many irregularities in the spelling of the name which confirms what we have known for centuries! I have found out that they are all men of the rails! Occupations are all related to Canadian Nation Railway, and the Grand Trunk Railway, which was incidently bought and operated by a German in Pitsburg, PA. Now researching possibility that Martins father may also be Martin? Sound familiar to anyone? Carolyn
