Hi Dee,
I've added a couple of notes and some dates - we definitely have the same family.
My grandparents are Wilfred Lawlor Brown and Anna Mabel Cooke, Margaret Jane VanBuskirk and Hiram Wilson Brown's son and daughter-in-law. I have a picture each of Margaret and Wilfred, but unfortunately, no scanner. Also, my service provider limits the size of file I can receive as a protection against software fraud.
I live in Aylmer, Quebec. If you are in Nova Scotia, I plan a visit in October, driving there and back. It would simplify exchanging information.
Thank you for the information. I really had nothing farther back than my great-grandmother's name on that side of the family.
