In Reply to: Cann family - NW USA & SE Canada area by David E. Cann of 616

Hello David Cann:

Even though you talk about Seattle and Dawson City, Yukon, I suspect your gr-father and his father and gr-father had some connection with the Nova Scotia area, where I live.

Perhaps your gr-grandfather went to seek his fortune in the Klondike in 1898, where your gr-father was born. I wonder how your gg-father got to Seattle in the first place - probably sailed there as a cabinboy or full crew member sometime in the 1870's or 1880's.
