I never knew of any children
This was exciting as I had traced George’s family and had only recently become aware of George’s second marital relationship when the Ontario marriage records became available on Ancestry.com; however, I never knew of any children that were born to this brief relationship. After a score of emails that day, we concluded that we were fourth cousins and began a research relationship that has lasted two years, and hopefully will last a lifetime.
