Bill,
I just wanted to add to my previous message re Francis Stephen . . . the family originated in Banffshire, Scotland, and many (or perhaps all of them) emigrated to Canada and the U.S. in the 1800's.George Stephen lived in Montreal,Que. and was instrumental in the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway across Canada - a very famous Canadian indeed.I have the names and birth dates of all his siblings, and am in the process of trying to discover which one of them is directly related to me.I am 99% sure your Francis Stephen is George's youngest brother - the birth date coincides.
Some of the family who emigrated to the U.S. had the "s" added onto the end of "Stephen" at immigration, thus the difference in names.
I'd appreciate hearing from you.
