I am helping my Cousin Gerry Foster to find his birth mother. Gerry and myself has been looking for years now. He does not use a computer ,but his wife does. I'm Maud burton-dye & I live in Sudbury, ON. My mom was Effie Foster-Burton. She was born in Rattling Brook. Her Parents were Roland Israel & Jessie {Noble} Foster. They lived in Botwood for many years. After mom died in 1952 at age 29,{ my Grandmother Foster died when all of their children were very young} our family lost track of mom's family. I located all of them {4 brothers & an adopted brother},some in NL & some in Ontario. Mom's oldest brother Sterling & wife Rena lived in Barrie , ON. They had an adopted Son Gerry & a son Bruce. When I met Gerry for the 1st time, I told aunt Rena "There's more Foster Blood in Gerry than Bruce. Gerry has the Foster Olive skin {as do I }.No one in the Family knew of Gerry's Bio-parents except for the ones involved. A few years ago I got an e-mail from an uncle in the states , telling me Gerry was Uncle Sidney's son. Both of Gerry's adopted parents had died by then, plus his Bio-dad. Uncle Sid's wife is now deceased as well. Gerry has four half-Brothers & a half-sister. Uncle Sterling & Aunt Rena Plus Uncle Sid & Aunt Violet also My Grandfather Roland & my Step-Grandmother Mary { Belbin } Foster, moved to Corner Brook to live. Gerry's mom was only 16 when she had Gerald. Gerry was born on Jan.1st 1953.He was adopted the day He was born at the Hospital. Gerry & his wife Jessie lives in Point Leamington and comes to their cottage in ONT. in the Summer. Gerry is anxious to find anyone from his Bio-mom's family. My e-mail address is

P.S Uncle Sterling & Aunt Rena lived on Elizabeth St. one of their neighbours was Bill & Flossie Young {this info was given me by My aunt Margaret {Howard } Foster, they used to visit Corner Brook.
