Hello Norma.
Your hypothesis is certainly worthy of research.You obviously are an experienced researcher, which is a big positive!The OPR or the IGI might be able to help you find a Milne family that supports your theory that the men are siblings.
I have literally thousands of Haldane/Hadden (and variations) families in my data.I have resaerched the names for over 37 years.I used to believe - quite naively - that I could match them all up some day.Now, in the late summer of my life, I know better!Yours is but another of the scores of questions I get regarding my family name which I am unable to solve despite all my data.
To answer your questions about me:Yes, I am ordained as were my father and my grandfather before me.We are Congregationalists (that's what the Mayflower Pilgrims were), both by choice and by genetics.I descend from no fewer that 8 of the 103 Mayflower passengers (but not through my Haldane name!).As for siblings finding different paths in life - that is common and good!I have two brothers: one a prison guard for 25 years and the other a lawyer for about the same.I have 2 sisters:one runs a charter fishing boat out of Los Angeles and the other works in Master Control of a Television station!I have 2 sons:one a computer engineer, the other a starving artist with a minor in Philosophy!So as long as your sons are happy, their divergent careers are OK.[smile]
I have a Haldane cousin in London, Ontario.I was born in Maine, but grew up in Jackson, Michigan and my wife was born in Pontiac, Michigan.I am quite familiar with Windsor, the Ambassador Bridge, Route 401 (which I drove to Maine many times), etc.My wife and I have lots of family in Michigan.
I look forward to hearing how your research proceeds - especially with the Haldan line.If I can connect further back after you find out more, i will be happy to share.
Blessings,
Father John
