Yes. My father talked often of the Bruce who came from Scotland (my dad called him the black sheep of the family) and married a native woman. But this is the first direct link I have found for this. Wish I knew much more.

I have his death date here somewhere......plus his full parish listings from the Anglican Church

My father was James Harold Bruce (B 1910, Dinorwick, Ont, D 1974, Copper Cliff Ont) and my Mother Janet Maria Jessup (B 1909, Sturgeon Falls, Ont, D 2003, Sudbury, Ont). I had 2 sisters, Janet and Carol, both deceased.

Yes, i saw the Patrick Bruce info on RR Ancestry. What is your reference to ...

This would be my great uncle John......his brother James Arthur was my grandfather.

Benjamin Bruce (1770) was my great, great, great grandfather, and Patrick Bruce (1848) my great grandfather. Patricks son James Arthur was my grandfather. I would love to be in touch with any cousins.
