I am looking for any of the Sinclair family. George and Catherine Bain Sinclair came to PEI in 1841. Children include
Johanna who married John Hunter
James A. who married Susan Hamill, he was a teacher in Elmsdale and had quite a few children
Many other children from George and Catherine Sinclair but cannot seem to get in touch. There is also Tuplin in the line up and McKay. Anyone out there?
