I spent a long time planning which ancestor I would research first. I chose to do my first family history search about my maternal grandmother, Caroline McMurray Davies. She was a young, girl who grew up in southern Alberta, Canada,circa 1930. Her family was of Scottish descent, and she married a young man whose family ancestors hailed originally from Wales.
I have enjoyed my memories of my dear grandmother, but as I search, I remember more. Questions come to mind, some I will have to research. Luckily, I can still ask my mother for some of the answers, and I need to do that while her memories are still accurate.
However, today I got a little sidetracked. I was moving some journals from one shelf to another and came across a wonderful picture of my paternal grandfather, Douglas Bradshaw Fowler. I knew him as my grandpa, but he was also a family doctor in southern Alberta, Canada. The untold story is that he went to Pharmacy School at University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Alberta to become a Pharmacist, but after doing that work for a while, he left his wife and young family to go to Ontario to go to medical school and later returned as a Doctor.
I need to do some more research to get all the details, so I will try to not get too sidetracked, but I need to find out all about it.
