as much as i could but based on the info that we were left with is that their were 6 sons who came here at the same time
I know exactly where these two properties are in East Alfield Quebec, it is believed that the other 4 stayed in Ontario or headed to the USA. My Grandmother was a McCann. Came from North Onslow Quebec just across the road from East Aldfield
