Greetings Ian and welcome from the highlands of Central Massachusetts. Do you have any photos of your grandfather? What else do you know of the family history?

Welcome to Xmarks, Ian. Glad to have you aboard!
I'm just up the road from you in Neepawa. My wife and I were just at the Scottish pavillion for the Brandon Winterfest a week ago. Great time!

I wish I had photos or more knowledge. Unfortunately when my grandmother passed away back in 2005 in Northern Ontario a lot of photos and things were given away or garbaged!

Photos, an Ontario tartan kilt. About the only thing I could get my hands on and rescue were; my great grandfathers dogtags, a few medals and St. Christophers medal he wore for his time in France.

Needless to say I am more than a little disappointed in the general handling of the situation to this day. Other than that I don't have a lot of links to them anymore.

Joseph Andrew Harvey, great-grand dad, had a son, Ernest Harvey, an engineer, who was killed by a German sniper in the second world war. He also had daughters, my grandmother and only a few more. I think my grandmother was the youngest and last surviving link.

My dad always felt more Canadian than Scottish-Canadian, so never really was interested in his heritage.

I don't really have much to go on.

Oh! Mr. Kilt we probably crossed paths at the Scottish pavilion last week! I have been a regular attendee for the last 4 years!

Small world this internet!
