I have asked the moderator to move your post to the Canada board(Moved).

When was Fred born?

When did Ross & Lynda die?  If they were both born in Canada - when did they marry?  Have you looked for them on the Canadian censuses?

Yes. This is the same family. I met Blair briefly when he was my husbands orderly in the hosp. I teased him by calling him Cuz. He said are we related. I said maybe and I never saw him again. I wondered if we are related. I wanted to know more of Fred’s background to see if we are related. I don’t have any dates. Can you find anything on Ross’s family?
