      Thanks for all the information. Edward and Ellen are my great grandparents through their son Watson Melville Gordon b. 1882 in PEI and my grandmother Josephine White Kakas. I can give you more info about Watson etc. How much down to the present do you want? It is interesting to see in the tree that I have that Edward had at least three aunts who were Owens: Christie, Sophia (b. 1831), and Martha (b. 1837).
