lostsoul on Family Tree Circles

Hi,my name is Wayne and I am trying to find ancestors on my mothers side.I am from Winnipeg,Manitoba,Canada.Having grown up in a catholic orphnage until I was sixteen.I never knew any family and at first didn't consider it important,but now that I'm in my sixties it somehow is.I have two grown children,six grandchildren and no ggrandchildren yet.I am following my mothers ancestry because I don't know who my father is.Hopefully,one or more of the family will develop an interest in genealogy in the future.When I first started my genealogical journey,I had only my mothers name. Now,I have my grandparents,their children,my ggrands and their children. Most of this info.I thank a cousin in British Columbia for.This genealogical journey is addictive and consuming. Good luck to everyone.

I,m pretty green at this ,so please bear with me.This is a list of my grandparents (George and Eliza) children. The first five were born in Dauphin,Manitoba. George 12/27/1909,Ronald Gilmour 10/07/1911,Robert Ross 02/01/1913,Thelma 09/30/1914,William James 03/18/1916. The remaining seven were born in Kamsack,Saskatchewan : John Allan 12/09/1917,Samuel Wallace 02/28/1919,Gilbert 09/12/1920,Ruby 11/20/1921,Gordon Russell 03/01/1923,Verna Irene 06/05/1925,Ethel Mae 02/08/1927 (my mother). I hope this helps and I don,t wish to offend any immediate family. My mom is interred in Winnipeg under Suzanski. Gordon is,I believe interred in Pine Falls,Manitoba. John Allen interred in Chiliwack. As for the others,I don,t know. Respectfully, Wayne G Tymchuk
