This is my space to share my quest to collect as many broken branches as I can in my fractured family tree which resembles a bramble bush more then a proper tree. As I go forward in this blogging journey I hope to share how I have searched far & wide for family - with no regard for where they come from or if I should really want them.
You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!

2nd Cousin X2 Removed ~ Murray Luck Lee

 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2023: Week 11 (LUCKY)


For this week's prompt LUCKY I will write about my husband's 2nd cousn X2 removed Murray Luck Lee
BIRTH 13 APR 1920 • St Catharines, Ontario, Canada
DEATH 1998

He was the son of  Arthur Stanley Lee
BIRTH 9 JUL 1889 • Virgil, Niagara Township, Lincoln Co, Ontario, Canada
DEATH 10 MAR 1956 • Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada
and 1st wife
Myrtle Annie/Anna Luck
BIRTH 4 JULY 1887 • Orillia, Ontario, Canada
DEATH 14 MAR 1922 • St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada

My husband has a DNA match to Stanley & Myrtle's grandson confirming the family search is correct.


Murray's middle name fits nicely for this week's prompt, and is the maiden name of his mother.


Murray's mother was the daughter of
Horatio Washington Luck

DEATH 04 FEB. 1925 • Grace Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
and 
Nanina Victoria Coulson

DEATH 22 FEB. 1922 • Brantford, Brant, Ontario, Canada

Murray's father was the son of 
William Henry Lee Jr.
BIRTH 5 MAR 1846 • Burford Township, Brant, Ontario, Canada
DEATH 16 NOV 1919 • Cainsville, Brant County, Ontario, Canada
and
Emma Misener
BIRTH 17 MAR 1849 • Burford, Brant, Ontario, Canada
DEATH 9 JAN 1929 • Burford, Brant County Municipality, Ontario, Canada

Murray's in common ancestor were my husband's 3rd great grandparents (and Murray's grandparents)
William Henry Lee
BIRTH 11 AUG 1814 • Stoney Creek, Wentworth Co., Upper Canada (Ontario)
DEATH 22 OCT 1887 • Northfield, Burford Township, Brant, Ontario, Canada
and 
Phoebe Swayze

When DNA matching results in  a 'reasonably exhausted search'!!! 



This is why I search - 


Cause ... 





You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
