  [S2624] Info: Donald Engvall, personal mgs via BBS Modem Connections, 23 Oct 1995. 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).
