Please accept my sincere condolences. I am writing a book about WW1 soldier James Kay (1880-1919), Jane's great-grandfather, whom Jane wrote a fantastic tribute about. I would like to get in touch with James Kay's descendants (Annie Patricia Kay's and Doris Cameron Kay's family). Can you help? Thanks and best regards.

Our family is indebted to Jane for her passion for family history. She connected us all in Winnipeg, Vancouver and England. She left me a legacy of genealogy information and gave me copies of documents she was able to find. She had two families that loved her and she will remain in our thoughts. Thank you Jane for your quest. - Posted by: Lynda Sharpe (cousin) on: Feb 03, 2013
