Thanks for sharing your stories. ---------------------------------------------------------------- I would like to thank RootsWeb for all the services that it provides to genealogists all over the world. Your Message Boards and so much other useful information, such as searching Ellis Island, have been very instrumental in helping me find lost relatives. I have had many replies to all my messages. My mother and father were both orphans and it has been very difficult researching my family history. Your site is GREAT! Here is my story: THE LITTLE ORPHAN BOY: PRIVATE GEORGE FREDERICK BURLTON By Isobel Burlton-Wells iajwells@aol.com Ontario, Canada I have fond memories of Daddy from my childhood. I can still visualize our family gathered around an old wooden table covered with red-checkered oilcloth on cold winters night in a country kitchen. I remember the warm aroma of wood burning in an old Findlay Oval woodstove. The heavy scent of fried bread made from grease drippings hung heavy in the air, from supper time. While dunking our toast into hot cups of tea, we listened intently to his fortune telling via the tea leaves. Ma Ma (Ruby GORDON) was always under the impression that he was raised by Gypsies in England. Stories of the war were always exciting to listen to, especially about his extremely dangerous job as a dispatcher. He would roll up his pant leg and let us feel the holes in his leg. Every year, on Remembrance Day, he proudly wore his green beret, war medals, and one "Gold Stripe Armband" to signify he had been a wounded soldier. He shined those medals until they sparkled, and marched with all the other proud soldiers in the parade in Toronto, knowing they had done their part and risked their lives to keep our country free. My Mother, Ruby Pauline GORDON, (her father, John Henry GORDON and her Mother, Margaret MILNE), tried numerous times to locate his family in England. Finally, I wrote to Dr. Barnardo's Orphan Home in England and to my utter astonishment, received a lengthy letter outlining my dear father's childhood years, together with a photo of him at age six. Tears flooded my eyes as I studied this old black-and-white photograph. A sad and bewildered young lad was looking at me with a bruised and swollen left cheek. I was absolutely ecstatic, and yet saddened, as I continued to read the account of his childhood that had been darkened and erased by the horrific effects of the war. I learned that he was born in Birmingham, England in 1895. His father, Henry Peter Stedman BURLTON, had died, and his mother, Laurel Jane WILLIAMS was unable to care for all her children and broken-heartedly placed my father into Barnardo's. He had many brothers and sisters. In 1906, he sailed over to Canada aboard the "S.S. Dominion" and worked on a farm owned by Benjamin MORTON in Moira. On 14 January 1916, he enlisted in the Canadian Army. Training was done with the 157th Battalion C. Co., (Simcoe Rangers) in Orillia, Ontario. On 28 October 1916, he arrived in England aboard the "S.S. Cameronia" and was transferred to the 116th Battalion at Bramshott, England and proceeded overseas landing at Baulogne, France. After spending six years in various hospitals, being treated for the devastating effects of shell-shock, mustard gas (which destroyed one of his lungs), and wounds to his head and leg, he was discharged as a disabled war veteran. As a result, he suffered much memory loss of his childhood and livelihood. A first cousin, Henry Peter Augustus BURLTON, was located in Birmingham, England. The next day, I telephoned all my family to share this cherished news about our father, who bore without prejudice memories of his shattered childhood and war experiences.

FROM ROOTSWEB REVIEW'S BOTTOMLESS MAILBAG -------------------------------------------- YET ANOTHER STROKE--FRENCH STYLE By Wes Groleau wesgroleau@earthlink.net Heroes, Heritage, and History http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wgroleau/ Mary Ann Wunder's "Another Slant on Old Handwriting" [RWR 5:3 16 January 2002] reminded me of a similar problem some may want to consider in research. Many times over the years, I have carefully printed GROLEAU on a form or application, only to have the product or letter come back marked GROLEAN. At first I was puzzled, but then I was reminded of that when I came across SAVAGEAU mixed in with SPECKMAN and similar names in a U.S. (census) Soundex. To someone unfamiliar with French names, a cursive - EAU does look like -EAN. Lesson: If you can't find your person in an index, think how the handwriting may have been misinterpreted. 7.
