My grandfather, Robert Wasson Black was born January 8, 1870, in Nova Scotia, Canada. All I know of his
ancestors are parents named J. William Black, and Sara(h) Elizabeth Andrews. He married Lillie May Wilbur of
New Brunswick, Canada, and had children named Pauline, Mildred (died in infancy), Harry E., Helen and Evelyn
Marie (my Mother)

His siblings were 1) Martha Jane b. Aug. 20, 1857, m. Joe Hurlburt; 2) James William b. May 19, 1859, lost
Sep. 8, 1877 on fishing trip to Grand Banks; (3) Abbie Ida b. Apr. 5, 1861, m. ?? Ford; 4) Cornelius Goram b.
Jan. 27, 1863, m. Webber in Ipswich, Mass.; 5) Sarah Letitia b. Apr. 23, 1867, m. ?? Cavanaugh; 6) Frank
Lewis b. Oct. 17, 1872; and 7) Bessie Alma b. Nov. 15, 1876, d. Apr. 15, 1881.

I would appreciate any help in locating information about my grandfather's ancestors or siblings.

Thank you very much.
