January 22nd

On this day, 47 years ago, on January 22nd 1972, your third cousin, James Francis Milne, married Judith Ann Garigliano in Barre, Vermont, USA.

The ancestor you share with James is your great great grandfather, Adam Christie (he seems to turn up quite a bit doesn't he?).  Adam Christie is also James' great great grandfather.

James was a second generation American.  It was his paternal grandmother who left Scotland as a baby in 1890.

James was a pharmacist like his father and worked in the family business.  He was a republican and ran unsuccessfully for Secretary of State - Vermont -  in 1992.  He ran again in 1994 was was elected and subsequently re-elected in 1996 but he was defeated at the ballot box in 1998.

James and Judith had three daughters and one son.

Despite his 8 year stint as Vermont's Secretary of State I cannot find a photograph of James on the internet.

They now live in Venice, Florida in a nice house near the ocean.  I wonder if they'd like some Canadian cousins to come visit....!
