My this is great grandfather's name (who married Olga). His son Lawrence is my father's father. They both were named Lawrence Basil (note the spelling). My grandfather had a sister Laurette. Is the Laurie you are referring to here possibly my great aunt? I know very little about this side of my family and would like to know more. My family on the West coast has not kept very good touch, although I know Laurette has been in contact over the years.
