Thank you very much, Sandra, for these obits. We lived in Spain for a while many moons ago.

Its "hot" today so nice to come in the shade and play "genealogy"

Are you ok with these Neilson's now ?

No, I am still struggling with some things. I am DNA related to a person called Gowrie, who lives in Glade, BC, is 60+ years old, and is not accepting messages. He is a 4th cousin as per my DNA info. I just have to think Gowrie is not his real name, possibly a screen name. There is a photo on his tree of Susan Mae Rogers, which is labelled "Grandmother's visit with Jean and Kay Welliver". Susan was married to Frederick Andrew Neilson in 1910 in Red Deer, Alberta. Roger Andrew Neilson would be one of her children. I have wondered if the label should say Great grandmother.
Susan is my second cousin, once removed.
I did put a message on his tree asking him to contact me as we are DNA related but nothing as yet. Last active this month but says researches almost every day.

Hey, Sandra, I didn't realize Kay Welliver was the same person as Kellogg. Thanks very much for his and his son's obits. They don't help with Gowrie but they do help very much with the tree.
I was looking around for Gowrie. I found a Brian Neilson in Fruitvale, BC which is in the same part of the world as Glade. He would be a grandson to Susan Mae, being a son of Roger Andrew. He was still alive in 2014 when his brother Garnet died. Garnet was born 1939 and Brian after that. I could be on a wild goose trail but it's a thought.

thanks again. Great addition to the tree. Another thought for Gowrie is if Edna Ina remarried and had another child after Roger died in 1967. Still wondering about Brian though.
