September 29 - Catching up and planning for Ottawa

I have been very busy with the geneology searches this past week. With regard to the Atherton side,  I have:
* connected with Liisa Taverner who is related to Willard Tovell, married to Margaret 'Teenie' Atherton, JJ's sister. She will pass on my information to another cousin who may know more about this interesting couple
* connected with Pat Atherton (Brother Gregory) about Teenie and Willard. Pat remembers that they travelled around a lot in their motor home and this does ring a bell although I also have travellers on the Kelly/O'Toole side, the Myers from Camrose.
* sent email to Pat's niece Nancy Moore who  lives in Ontario I believe and who may be the link to the great photo book I saw on 'promum's' website. There is also another sister Judy Baldwin who lives in Bolton and if I don't hear from Nancy, I will write to Judy or call her.
* visited the LAC site at the national archives and have rec'd my user card number (1751674) that we will use when visiting Ottawa in October.
* re-checked Murray's descendant list and added information to the Atherton tree on ancestry.ca. Will send him more info re. our family (birthdates etc.) when I return from Ottawa
* started a list  for Tony and Jay's visit
