Hi,

At this point it looks like we may be cousins. I have nothing concrete yet.

Henry Ralph Trenchard Shorto was my great-uncle, the brother of my grand-mother, Maud Shorto, who died in Vancouver, Canada in 1949. She emigrated to Canada in 1913 and married Alex Seymour in Alberta. She had two daughters, Margaret and Dorothy Seymour. I was aware members of the Shorto family moved to Brazil but had no details as to what happened to that side of the family. I had been told that Capt Ralph Shorto had served on HMS Rodney during World War II.

I know that this is an old post, but I've just come accross it while looking for some information about my family.  Ralph Russell Shorto was my Grandfather.  I never met him, but would love to know more about him if anyone can help me.  I know quite a bit about the family now, but would love to know more.

I was very glad to read your message. Ralph Shorto was my cousin once removed. His father was my grandmother's brother. She was Maud Shorto and she emigrated to Canada in 1913 to marry my grandfather, Alexander Seymour. They lived in Alberta and had two daughters, one being my mother. Maude died in Vancouver in 1949. I remember when I was growing up my mother would tell me stories of her relatives in Brazil! I regret I never met them. If I can answer any questions I would be more than happy to.

I realise that your last post is two years old, but I am intrigued about your relationship with my uncle Ralph Shorto. I am the daughter of his sister Constance with whom he was very close. He came to Dartmouth to visit. I would be delighted to hear from any Shorto cousins.

I'm very glad to hear from you. My mother always use to tell me about her cousins in South America. As you can see from my previous posts, my grandmother, Maude Shorto, came to Canada in 1913 to marry my grandfather. She lived in Drumheller, Alberta and moved to Vancouver in the 1920's. Her other grandchildren are currently living in Glasgow and Arran. Their mother was also Maude's daughter. I'm not sure to what degree, but seems we are cousins!
