Searching For Long-Lost Relatives
by Laurene
Well, to start, my family background is from Steveston. Mr. and Mrs. E. Corkill, who lived on #2 Road... Unfortunately, I have no information other than that. I wonder if there is any family still there? I know they had 2 daughters for sure and that eventually the girls married 2 brothers--Olsen--which is where my grandma comes into the picture (Dorothy Olsen). My great grandma is of native descent, I believe. She was a Jones. The daughters names were Ada and Agnes. Agnes was a seamstress (in Vancouver, I think). Surnames I'm searching for is Corkill, Williams, Newman and Carl Frederick Olsen and Charles Olsen, the brothers who married the Corkill daughters. Anyway, someday I will get there to check things out. Just have to be patient, I guess! Cheers from the Shuswap! Laurene (laga@telus.net) Click here to read or post comments. |
