Do you know if your Blairs or Belaires are connected to
Russell sir name
I only ask because my family of Blairs and Russells came
from Quebec & New Brunswick Canada
My g grandfather robert Russell brn may,20,1856 Belledune N.B. was living in Duluth,MN in 1887,my g grandfather robert
Russell his aunt margaret Russell brn abt 1797 Bonaventure,Que married a john Blair,son of michael Blair &
margaret Sampson.My g grandfather his son robert Russell jr brn 1885 Duluth,MN his mothers name on his birth certifacte says emma Curo,weather robert & emma were married is a mystery to me,for in 1896 my g grandfather robert Russell
left this emma took their 2 children and went back to Belledune N.B.he married martha miriam Matthews in 1896 in Belledune N.B. the grandaughter of james Blair & margaret Daigle.
I do not know exact year robert Russell came back to Belledune N.B. I know with this emma Curo he had 2 children,the robert jr brn 1885 Duluth MN and a mary elizabeth {bessie}Russell brn 1887 u.s.a.
Just thought it would not hurt to ask since I know my Blairs and Russells are related.
