Louise van tassel is my great grandmother I'm the granddaughter of John Red Maxwell. I'm looking to get more information about my great grandfather Jack Maxwell who was lost at sea? I have heard he was a merchant marine?? No death certificate that I can find in NS or burial place. Louise's children went into orphanages after their father's death. Any help would be great.
