BELL BEALL
I am descended from Alexander Beall
through the Bells (Bealls) who stayed behind in Largo (see query #

Cottage in Largo ca. 1933.
Their son Alexander emigrated to
Calgary, Alberta, Canada around

Force (Princess Patricia's Canadian
Light Infantry, 3rd Battalion.); he
was seriously wounded, returned home to Calgary and died in the mid-
1920s. I'm looking for family members and relatives still in
Scotland. I'm also looking for information on the Bells and Bealls
who stayed in Largo.
