Elizabeth's brother, John A. Cann is my 4th gr. grandfather.
Yes, I do have information on the Cann family back to the 1500's and from our William
Cann (3/13/1754-11/7/1839), Elizabeth's father forward.
Most of my research has been through the National Archives and the Family History Center,
both here in Anchorage, family members (old and new), plus information that I had on hand.
I ordered alot of information (on microfilm) through the FHC. I have met over the
internet family members and traded photo's and family information. I have quite a
collection of family photo's.
I have input all my information into Family Tree Maker. What do you use? I would be glad
to share information with you.
I was born and raised here in Anchorage. My parents drove up from Arkansas in 1956 and
we're still here. We are the only Cann's that ventured this far and stayed. I
have found the Cann name a couple of times here in Alaska history, but I have not
researched to see if they were connected to us.
Look forward to hearing from you and sharing with you.
