He explained that though there was no historical or other kind of proof that all the Gallants in Canada and the US. are de- cended from Michael Hache, he said that there is also nothing te indicate that they aren't.

He told of the difficulty he had in obtaining any figures at all, “some of these difficulties were brought on by the recent posta! workers strike, he over came the lack of any figures particially by having his family go through all the available phone books he could find in Ot- tawa from different parts of Ca- nada and the U.S
