Yes I have already tried Googling but acrobat tends to being up things associated with Adobe. Found a few sites but I couldnt find many that had could be possible the family used a stage name instead of their own.

will try the ones you listed Ann of Green Gables.

Thanks to all who helped, its been 10 years since i last did family research and I've forgotten most sites I used to use.
