Geelans/Gillans in Canada/California
I am looking for connections to Geelans or Gillans related to my Grandfather "Charles Henry Geelan/Gillan who came to Ontario in 1865 at the age of 3 - a son of John A Geelan/Gillan and Frances Shaw.The name was changed from Geelan to Gillan sometime after arriving in Canada.In about 1890 Charles Henry Gillan shows up in California (where he marries Nellie Randolph and has a family) and then about 1897/1898 comes back to Canada with the elder son (Charles Randolph Gillan). In 1898 CH Gillan went over the Chilkoot to the Klondyke and settled on Vancouver Island about 1901/02.Would really like to find out what he did in Ontario and why he went to California.
Also would like to connect withany other relatives from the Ontario connection.
Regards;
