Marilyn, glad to hear from you. I really made a mess of my first entry into Bethune Message Board in that I first left out the "H" and didn't catch it and then forgot to use the Waddin name for Veronique. Next, I left out my web page address which shows how the Kittson's and Bethune's are related. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Oaks/2189/Kittson.htmhttp://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Oaks/2189/Kittson.htm
If you write this down, be sure to note that it is case sensitive and is htm rather than html.
I do not recogize the other families you are related to, but then I am fairly new with checking in on the Bethune part of our genealogy, but I do know someone who knows some of their history and will pass your address on to him as well. Also, James Gordon Kittson, of Vancouver B.C. wrote the papers on the Kittson's of Canada which were compiled for the Silver Anniversary Collection of Family Histories, the Ontario Genealogical Society. He use to correspond with my mother back in the 60's as well as with Fred Kittson, a grandson of Norman Kittson (Norman Kittson helped finance the Great Northern Railway)In here he gives more detail of the family connections. Copies of the work are with the Minnesota Historical Society and a link is near the top of my first web page.My e-mail is [email protected]. I will read your other messages when I get through with this note to see if there are other connections we might have.I did find a descendent of our Margaret Kittson and Norman Bethune, but she has her hands full with a brand new generation that came as a Christmas present, it was a boy! At a later time she may have more information to give me. In case you do not have the info...Veronique's parents were Jean Etienne Waddin and Marie Josephe de Guire. We are related to two of Veronique's sisters as well. I don't think they give you space for writing a book here so I will close for now, but will be in touch soon. Roxanne Woodruff
