Post subject:  The Bennett family

Hi there, I am in the process of looking for family history and hopefully this site might help. My family lost touch with the Newfoundland side when my father moved to Montreal many years ago. His name was George and his parents were John Bennett and Veronica (Dawe) Bennett. My grandfather I believe was born in Harbour Grace and the Dawe family was from Kelligrews. My father was from a family of 7. The family lived on Hayward Ave. in St John's. If any of this information sounds somewhat familiar please let me know.

Thanks...John
