Thanks, Tom

The one I contacted was the grand-daughter as I suspected. I gave the link to this thread so if they are interested they might post here.

Good Luck

I am the grandson of Daisy the sister of Norman Brookes. I picked up this thread via Google because I am compiling an elementary family tree.

My grandmother said that Norman left the family farm and disappeared. To the day she died she never knew what happened to him. I am accordingly very interested in the information in this thread.

May I ask Tom whether he has been able to sort out Norman's life history with a reasonable degree of confidence and if he has whether he would be willing to share what he has discovered. I phrase the question in this way because there was clearly more than one Norman Brookes in central Canada during the years in question.

In anticipation   John

Hello Tom Langley and Gravesendian. A warm welcome to RootsChat, Gravesendian.

Gravesendian needs to make at least one more post on order to access the PM (private message) system (RootsChat policy). Just to say "Hi" would suffice.
