Good day to all of you.

I am Alexander (Sandy) Muir and Margaret Frasers g-grandaughter.
Their son William H. Muir is my grandfather.
My sister and I have the family albums , even a beautiful picture of little 'Clara' that was lost in death at a very young age.
ID: I3399
Name: Clara MUIR
Sex: F
Death: UNKNOWN in Young
Fact 1: See Note Page
Note:
Facts about this person:
Burial
Behind United Church, Westville, NS, Canada

We have a host of information, pictures of family members and some yet unsolved secrets.
My mother is Margaret Vera Muir, born 1919-20 as she her-self was unsure, in Turo, N.S. of which we have found no record other than her word and my grandparents.
My grandmother, Violet (Viola) and her(my mother) immigrated inn 1922 to Greenfield, Mass.USA and my grandfather was actually born in Boston Mass. USA as his mother was visiting her sister there when his birth time came.
So His birth records are for USA and dual-citizenship automaticaly was appointed.

Here is where it gets fun.

William Muir married Ollie Zinck

Married: 5 OCT 1903 in West Dover, Halifax Co, Nova Scotia, Canada
Now, they used a 'B.' instead of an H. but other references show the H. as in the census of 1901 and...seems they co-resided before their marriage.

He divorced Ollie and married her sister, Violet Zinck whom is my grandmother.
Ho, dont'cha love those family secrets.

We have pictures of Ollie, and the divorce papers.
What we lack is the record of Violet(Viola) and Williams marriage or my mothers official birth.

Ron Zinck has been notified to correct his records several years ago and has not as yet been done.
His records show my grandmother as DOB 1990 N.S. and buried in a community cemetary there...

I would love to communicate with anyone interested in this line, and assist me in finding our missing pieces.
