Interesting day yesterday. I unexpectedly may have learned a bit of 100-year old family gossip.
I posted on Facebook that it was Home Children day in Ontario, with a bit about my grandparents and great uncle. A cousin in England ** reposted it, then my sister did.
Turns out the cousin hit up my sister yesterday to find out more.
It turns out that back before my grandfather came over as a home child, there was a split in the family due to a brother being born of mixed race. The family kind of fractured (some cut ties with mixed race brother, some did not), and English cousin and my sister had different ideas as to what might have happened that led to 2 brothers being sent to Canada as orphan labourers. In any case, the UK split in the family was something that I don't think any of us in Canada even knew about. Apparently, the English family is only recently starting to reconnect, in much the same way that the Canadian family is starting to reconnect wtih England.

** I've probably told the story somewhere else on here, but we've really only been reconnected to the England family for less than 20 years.
