I would appreciate any help..... I am trying to find any information on George James Lee b abt 1830 in "Berlin" England. Note "Berlin" was the name of the place of his birth given on his marriage certificate when he was married in Canada. He gave his father's name a George Lee and mother as Mary Tobin. Apparently they both died in 1844 during an epidemic and George James was then adopted.

Thanks
Sean

Hi ,

Thank you all for your help

Astra
I believe you have certainly found them. These LEE's are my distant cousins. When I say distant I mean that a Lee (living male) descendant and I have a Y DNA match.
Now to the hard part, to trace them back to my Lee's ancestors in Yorkshire.

Thanks again
Sean (Australia)
