Time Line

Note: This is a work in progress and serves as a mental way for me to make connections and research. It has helped me narrow dates down so as to tighten up on researching.

Questions: After doing this I'm left with some questions - which lead to possible research.

* Why did the family move to U.S.?
* What happened to J.T. McKenzie's tailorshop?
* Why doesn't first family appear in records anywhere in Boston? Where did they go? Or did they stay in Charlottetown?
* I'd love more information on Catherine McLeod (aka "Aunt Kate" according to Betty Makela). She was a daughter from James E. McLeod's first family, and apparently visited the second family in Boston frequently enough to be considered one of the "favorite aunts."
* First family isn't listed in any census' early on before Ann dies. Did they have another home outside of Charlottetown.
*What about the Scotch District (Lot 67)? A James McLeod (may not be "our" James) and a J.T. McKenzie (owned tailor shop in Charlottetown that James later worked for) are mentioned as having attended the "Stratylbyn Jubilee" there before he moved to Boston. Could the family have lived there prior to moving to Charlottetown?
