Hi Morley,
I sent you an email but it autoreplied that your computer had crashed.

I would love any help you can give me. My "Luther line" is me (Pamela Dean), mom (Norma Ivany Dean), nan (Hazel Ivany Ivany), and Edith Gertrude Luther Ivany born May 1892 and married to Elam Ivany (of Thomas Ivany and Rosanna Cooper). I know that Gertrude had sisters, listed below. I found a few entries mostly from UC records but not really enough to start connecting families with any certainty.

Oh, and I found a handwritten note loosely stuck in the back of a Shoal Harbour UC marriage register at the archives which reads "Now sis I must interduce myself my name Ebenezer P. Luther formaly of Watervill Smith Sound T.B. Thomas Luther is my Brother I have been living at Sydeny for 12 years hoping to hear from you soon I am sincerley yours Ebenezer Luther My adress Ebenezer Luther 636 Alexander Street Sydeny N.S."
