Notes:

I found this handwritten note in Ted Martyniuk's papers:

My grandad Andrew Martyniuk was married to Wasylena Sapach. After she died my grandpa married another lady [?] and I remember my dad saying he had a half brother named [?]

Norquay Nostalgia references a sister Annie and two older brother's Michael and John [cousins perhaps? and not brothers?] Or an uncorroborated memory?
