I just wanted to let you know that Williard MacDougall's daughter Erlean (spelled as written here) had 4 children, Michael, Sherry, Rose, and Gail (this is their birth order). I hope you will be able to make this correction. Thank you. And thank you for writting down this information as well. My mother and I were just talking about how we don't really know much about the family's history. Do you have any more information about the Miller family? I forgot to mention that Erlean and Stanley were never divorced, only separated. He died in Manitoba not too long ago, and she still resides in Campbellton.
Thanks again, |
