Hi all!
Just recently received DNA results from Ancestry... 23% Great Britain, 14%
Ireland... both include possible Scottish descent, not as detailed as I thought
it would be but does show a match with one person I have viewed so far who
shares DNA with us... This means she and I share Great Great Grandparents who
would be John Halliday m 1848 Sarah McKeown OR Great Great Great
Grandparents where the mystery lies! This person's family tree shows
James Halladay and Mary Grant of New Brunswick, Canada, child Mabel Louise
Halladay b 11 May 1878 Parrsboro, Nova Scotia d 27 May 1931 m 2 Sep 1899 Anson,
Maine, John Ford Gibson.. Death record for Mabel shows parents as James Haliday
b Nova Scotia, Mary Haliday b Nova Scotia.~ Marriage record shows same parents
however states born N.B. Residence for James stated as Cumberland NB, occupation
Laborer. (I know Cumberland is in Nova Scotia) ~ No dates for birth or death...
Mary Grant is deceased prior to 2 Sep 1899. I would estimate birth of James as
1840-1858.... Has anyone come across this couple?
