Descendant note:
 My,father DOB 07-28-1896 was born in Clarkes Harbour Nova Scotia. I have reason to believe his real name
 was Ralph Thomas. However he took his uncles name Percy Ralph Kenney when he went to live with his sister and her
 husband in 1910/11 in Alberta Ca. His sister and husband returned to NS and remained . Their name was Earle Bigelow and
 Violet Bigelow they spent many years at the Masonic nurseing home in I believe Windsor NS. They had 2 children named
 Vernon and Ruth.Vernon married and moved to Vancover,Ruth remained and married a gentleman who was a farmer and
 was a MP for a number of years Prior to moving to the Masonic I believe Earle and Violet lived in Sheffield or Sheffield Hills
 NS unfortunatly that is all the information I have. Regards , Ray H.Kenney    E-mail   auxkenney@compuserve.com                     from: Raleigh,NC
