    Notes:

    NOTE 1./ e-mail from Dianna Erskine on 3/18/2004

    Robert Morrison Erskine was stationed in Scotland during the war because, as the story goes, he was camped out on a guys property/estate who turned out to be an Erskine (I think). Anyway, if he wasn't he was interested enough in the fact that my grandfather was an Erskine to invite him up to the house and give him a sgian dhu (Scottish sock knife...which my Dad now has...It's beautiful!), and a chanter (a type of flute...which my sister has.

    NOTE 2./ e-mail from Dana nee Erskine Van Cleif 3-27-2006 <>

    My grandfather, Robert Morrison Erskine passed away last month on the 25 of February in St. Thomas, Ont. He was born July 08, 1921 so lived a long life. His Brother, Jack, passed about a week later but I don't have an exact date. He was suffering from Alzheimer's and lived in B.C.

    Just for your records I'm not sure if anyone clarified for you my sisters' and my origins of birth,marriage and my parents' info.

    Grampa Erskine was a plumber by trade but a very talented carpenter and builder. Built the house, barn, boat greenhouse and farmed his land. He was very intelligent. He was with the First Hussars and participated in the invasion of Normandy on D-Day, landing on Juno Beach. He never talked about the war so other than that I don't know much.

    Robert married Viola Jean NELSON. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    NOTE 2./ E-mail from Dana Erskine Van Clieaf : 10-30-2003 :
    Leonard Simpson Erskine (my great-grandfather) was born in a Hotel that the family owned on Hamilton Rd. by Gore Rd. in East London. I have nothing to back this up, though, just what Grumpa told me. I could probably confirm by talking to one of my Aunts. Dana
