Hi Norm!
Yes, I am Gordon Ellis's eldest son, and of course Doug is my uncle. I am still in touch with Doug, but I have never really never known much about my cousins, great-uncles, great-aunts, etc., on either side of the family.
I had absolutely no idea that Bertha had any half-siblings. I seem to remember there were a lot of brothers and sisters, most of whom came to the U.S.,but I never heard of there being two marriages at that time.
Your grandfather had the same mother as Bertha, or the same father?
Where are you located? Are you part of the Michigan connection, or are you somewhere else? In fact you don't say if you are on the U.S. side of the water or are in England!
I live in Los Angeles, but spent most of my early life in England. I am the son born of Gordon's marriage to Eileen Yirrell, from Luton, England.
Did you ever know my Dad? Or is your only link through Doug?
Would be great to hear from you, and any information you have regarding the family, I would appreciate.
All the best.
Mark
