" I found your website while I was searching for my grandfather with the help of the internet. On your website you have a photo of original employees who worked at the Kerr-Addison Gold Mines in 1958.

" As far as I know my grandfarher immigrated to Canada in 1951 and was then working at the Kerr-Addison Gold Mines Limited, Virginia Town, Ontario (Manager: D. S. Row).

" I wondered if you knew someone who could help me to find out my grandfather´s address (I hope he is still alive), because I would like to get in touch.

" But because of my father never having met his own father I unfortunately only have very little information about my grandfather (see below). I´d be glad if you would try to help me and therefore I´m looking forward to hearing from you -- Nicole Roskosch (Germany).
