-------------------------
Yes there is someone out here looking for Canns. My Cann family is from
Hampshire (Southampton, Portsmouth) England. With the exception of my grandfather
Frank Cann, they apparently have been there since the Stone Age. Grandfather
Frank Cann (b: 1900) was the son of Frank Cann (b: 1876 in Nether Wallop,
Hampshire). Frank Sr. was the son of Ellen Cann (don't know maiden name,
or first name of her Cann husband). Ellen was born in Wiltshire, UK. Frank
Cann (Jr.)born in 1900 married Gertrude Harris-Smith in 1919. Their son
Ronald Allen Cann (b: 1923) was my father. Frank Jr. moved family to South
Africa in 1925. Ronald Allen Cann served in Royal Navy during WW2, and
moved to USA in 1948. Are there any other Hampshire Canns?
