Genealogy isn't an exact science from the Google search below; just a
good
genealogy lineage paper trail. DNA testing is the only way to be 100%
sure
of one's bloodline. Websites are sometimes not exactly accurate due
to
insufficient research by the family genealogist/webmaster.
Genealogy
websites are therefore just tools to work from and one always has
to verify
it's contained data further. A hole can sometimes be later punched
in their
ancestry paper trail by another researcher, proving someone isn't
who
someone else thinks they are.
I have seen a document that Flora
June was born in or around the Joggins
area of Cumberland County 14 months
before Lillian Myrtle m/1 widower, James
"Jamie" Macintosh Leck, 21 years her
senior, on 25 Jul 1936 at Elderbank,
Halifax County. On this document, Howard
Taggart, Miner, and Lillia[n]
McLelland, Maid, were named as her unmarried
parents. I feel both Flora
June's are the same person. Looking at the website
photo of June Leck and
her sister Mable Leck, the facial features are
somewhat different to
possibly have the same birth father. Flora June's
step-father may have later
adopted her, giving her his Leck
surname.
There's a strong possibility Howard Talmage Taggart (about 1903
Parrsboro -
26 Aug 1973, Camp Hill Hospital, Halifax)(s/o Thornton C. Taggart
and Clara
Smith) is Flora June's birth father.
As a Taggart researcher
among other surnames, below are 4 more possible
"TAGGART" bloodline
descendents via Flora June to check out. That's how I
now have Flora June in
my file until further data surfaces to prove
otherwise.
If you're a
"Cumberland County" McLellan researcher, all the children of
Norman McLellan
and Olive Jane Coates from Minudie are also in the
website
below.
