Newfoundland's Grand Banks Message Board

I am looking for info. regarding my family's Newfoundland connections. My Father was Edward George Newell who I am told was born in Clark's Beach NL. He was the son of the late Ebenezer and Mary Hanna (Moore) Newell.

My father passed away Jan. 1 st. 2002 in Glace Bay Nova Scotia at the age of 87 years. This is currently all the info. I have regarding my Newfoundland connection. If anyone can recommend ways to assist in the pursuit of further info. or can shed some light on the family's connection here in Newfoundland please write.

Thanks
Don

The following was found on this site and may be of interest to you. At least it gives you the name of Ebenezer Newell's father, WILLIAM.
