The boy's dad's house is right next to the Legion in Welshpool. Thier great grandfather was Cleavland Mitchell and he ran a general store out of that building when he retired from the Algonquin hotel in St. Andrews. Your mom would probably know Clev, as he was very social and played the organ at the Anglican church.
The boy's uncle graduated from UNB in Fredericton with a law degree, so I've been there a few times.
The boy's dad's grandmother grew up in a house on Mill Street, in St. Stephen and it is now and insurance agency. It's a big one, and I know your cousin's would know which one it is.
After the boy's grandmother died in 1997, I didn't go back to NB till thier grandfather died in 2007.
I was born and raised in SK, and I liked to visit but definately couldn't live out there.
