Hi Ronald
My name is Louise(Troke)Eastman. I live in Gander Bay South. Saw your post about Phoebe Bursey and thought this is Good I am going to find out something about my Gret grandmother.I have often tried to find some inforamtion but it has been a while now since I tried so when I saw this I was very interested. I know very little about my Grandfather's(Hezekiah Troke)family.I was in my mid teens when I was told that my Grandfather was born when his mom was really young.I can always remember knowing that Grandmother Fox was grandfather's mother but that was it.I guess someone must have told me somewhere along the line. I have a newspaper clipping, Birthday greetings with a picture, on her 91st Birthday. Hezekiah married Lillian whitt from Change Island.One of their sons(Eric George) was my dad. Grandfather lived with us a number of years.He outlived 3 of his sons. I can remember knowing that grandfather had a brother, Major Will Porter & I think he came & visited him once but I am not 100% sure of that, back then you were told very little and we sure didn't ask questions about the situation.I remember hearing the name uncle Will Porter but for what reason I can't recall.Irene(Edwards) Hillier and I are first cousins but I did not know some of the info she provided. Thanks I am glad my curosity got me searching again. Sometime in the future I will visit the SA cemetery in windsor. I am certainly pass on this information to my siblings.It would be great to know my great grandfather's name. we think it may be Jesse but we are not able to find any info on him.I have asked some of the Troke's in Twillingate but they couldn't help me
God Bless
Louise Eastman
