Hi,
My great grandmother married a William A. Purdy. (i'm pretty surethe"a" was Albert. Her name was Mary. I believe they married in Canada and then moved to Michigan.
My grandmother was Lettitia (LuLa) Isabelle Purdy-married Scott/Vandebrink.
She had a brother named Walter who lived and died in Central lake, Michigan.
i do not have international ancestry so my capabilities are limited. Anyone out there related?
love to hear from you
Sue(Scott)Feather suefeather@aol.com
Thanks

Hey, there... you'll have to provide more info for me. How about year of birth, maiden name, dates of death, etc.

Cheers
Marilyn

death records should help... I'll work on it... might take some time so be patient, ok? there are other researchers you there that just may have the info you're looking for or - it may be a new branch of the line that came over just about that time.

old census records... his death certificate - all that should shed some light on where he was born.

cheers,
Marilyn
