GENEALOGICAL CORRECTION In the Saanichton column last week it was erroneously stated that Mr. J,A. LaFortune’s mother the former Miss Frances Verdier, was the first white child to be born in Saanich. It should have been said Mr. LaFortune is the great-grandchild of the first white settler in Saanich, Angus McPhail, Also that Miss Verdier was a cousin, not the sister, of the late Frank Verdier. tt is well known that Alexander Thomson, the uncle of Mrs. R.E.
