So is Walter Sr. your decendent right? I don't know anything about Walter Jr., i don't know if he ever came to canada or what. Harry (Henry Clark Pannell) is my grandfather, he had 10 children, my father Robert John Henry Pannell "Jack" was the oldest born in 1929. I am Robert John Pannell, the youngest of 3, I was born in 1969. I agree with you, it is great to get in touch with long lost reatives. Do you use Yahoo Messenger? Be nice to talk one on one. My Aunt Sue has a lot of our family history, she is my Uncle Dennis' wife and lives in Canada. I have been trying to get more info out of her. Would love to share it as i get it.
