Agnes Grace (Aylward) McCormick Rector & Wallace Austin Rect_ or
There was some interest by a few researchers in knowing who Wallace Rector
was earlier.
Can anyone confirm if Elizabeth McCormick, m/1 to Ronald Best, is also
Ronald Albro Best, s/o Arthur Ronald Best and Florence Mae Canning?
Thanks.
