the museum's future, noting that it is still
under consideration for federal contribu-

federal funds have yet been committed.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Searching for
family members
Dear Editor,
We are , searching for relatives of our
grandmother, Margaret Colclough, who
came from Goderich Township. Margaret
and her sisters, Matilda and Alice, went to
North Dakota, then Saskatchewan in the
late 1800s or early 1900s. They left behind a
brother, Robert Colclough. Their mother
died before they left, and their father
remarried, Apparently there was a second
family from this marriage.
We would appreciate any assistance that
y.our readers could give us in tracing our
family in Ontario.
