William R. Arnott son of John & Alice sister GRACE
I am searching for info on my grandfather William (Richard or Roscoe) Arnott born 9-27-1904 in Calton, MN. He was 1 of 5 children (a sister Grace) Father John, Mother Alice (I was told from Sweden) who may have both died in the 1920’s or early 30’s. My mom (in her 70’s) was born around Saskatoon, Saskatchewan as June R. Arnott and she would like to connect with distant family members.
The story I heard was that my grandfather Bill aka William R. Arnott was born in Carlton, MN from Swedish Immigrants John & Alice they had 5 children including the oldest William R. Arnott and Grace Arnott. While William was still young his parents died and the 5 kids were all split up and sent to foster homes. He ran away jumping trains from Carlton, MN and ended up in Canada where he met my grandmother they got married had 2 kids and moved west to British Columbia around 1943.
I have 5 older cousins all with multiple kids, we'd like to Sharon Debra, Denise, Pat, Lyle.
