In my last story I wrote about my discovery of an ancestor (Great Great Uncle) who made the list of being the first outlaw in Manitoba - https://steemit.com/life/@worldwar2hero/ancestry-surprises-notorious-criminal-in-the-family-tree

I will now tell you of his brother my Great Great Grandfather - Joseph Godon - A historian by the name of Lawrence J. Barkwell wrote a great piece on my Great Great Grandfather - https://www.scribd.com/document/60549813/Godon-Joseph-b-1839

We never heard of our GG Grandfather Joseph, the furthest back my grandmother told us stories was of our G Grandfather Jerome so it was a surprise to find this while researching the family history - Lawrence did a good job but some of his research was not accurate as I have found out in the past few months doing my own research.
