Hello,
I am so pleased to find this fascinating correspondence regarding my great grandfather Robert Anderson (Honolulu Bob). I am Margaret Anderson (my great grandmother's married name!) and
(*) Anderson is my younger brother. Great Uncle Robert Catton Anderson has remained a family mystery, and I never met him although I too am the middle sibling and often give that a particular status.
I am coming to Selkirk for the Common Riding this summer with my 17 year-old daughter,
(*). I'm hoping to be joined by my older brother
(*)Anderson, and I spoke with my younger brother and talked about the possibility of him joining us for this awesome opportunity to see Selkirk together. This will be my second time to Selkirk. My last visit was over twenty years ago with my cousin Charlotte, and we stayed with my cousin Rosalie. I had a fantastic time and can't wait to be there once again with my daughter and nieces and nephews.
I am registered on Ancestry.com and recently joined Family Tree/GedMatch to explore my Anderson roots. It is so nice to put some of the pieces of the family puzzle together.
Well, I didn't mean to write so much, but I wanted to let you all know how exciting it is to have read your postings!
Much thanks,
Margaret
P.S
Giselle, are we cousins?
