John Donald Copland
« on: Saturday 28 March 20 22:06 GMT (UK) »
A relative of mine John Donald Copland born 1897 Peterhead, Scotland emigrated to New York then moved to Canada in 1930. He was a plumber.   He was living in Scarborough, Ontario in 1958 with his wife Ruby who I know nothing about not even her last name.  Can anyone point me in the right direction as to tracking down any family members please?
