Descendants of Angus GRAHAM and Catherine MacLEOD

The research on this family is being carried out in an attempt to identify the biological parents of Florence Mae METCALFE* 1915-2005. Since the adoption of Florence was a family 'secret' there is no one alive today, that we can find, who can provide this information.

Florence's daughter Kathy WATSON* has had her DNA analyzed and this has produced some apparent cousins. Some on her father's side, which we can identify, and hopefully some are on her mother's side. The difficulty here is that we do not have any surnames to start with or compare to.

One DNA '3rd cousin' is Patricia , Patricia's mother Jessie Laverne MacINTOSH 1908-2004 and Florence Mae ???? 1915-2005 would have been 2nd cousins which implies that their common ancestor would be their great grandfather. If we look at Jessie's Pedigree Chart
we find these greatgrandfathers John ?? MacINTOSH; Angus GILLIES; John MacLEOD; & Angus GRAHAM and one of their grandchildren should be either mother or father to Florence.

Another DNA '3rd cousin' is Christine. When we trace her grandmother, Ida McFARLANE (1906-????) we find her acestors originated on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, emigrated to Huron Twp, Bruce Co, Ontario. If we look at Ida's Pedigree Chart we find these ancestral families; MacFARLANE; MacIVER; MacLEOD; SMITH; SAUNDERS; MacLEOD & Angus GRAHAM; MacLEOD.

Partricia and Christine apparently have a common ancestors in the Angus & Catherine GRAHAM Family. This helps me since the more common ancestors I can identify the closer I come to Florence's common ancestors and then start the climb back down thr tree to look for her parents.

I have created these Journals in an attempt to identify all those grandchildren and narrow down my search. Likely subjects, both male or female, would have been born born approx 18 - 30 years before Florence's birth in 1915, say 1885 to 1897. Also not likely married before 1915.

Please note, this is a work in progress and not all the connetions have been proven. I am open to any and all, questions, comments and corrections, Case.
