Bella Delia FRANK

<p>Also known as Belle.</p><p><p>Although, she is now legally blind, she has done a terrific amount of research in Norway on the Aarvik's and and the Frank family when she visited Michigan and has published several books. "The Old Aarvik Place", "The Frank Connections", and 3 others that at this point in time, I do not have the names for.</p><p><p>This past September 2001, I contacted Aunt Belleby phone, as she resides in Calgary, she was super surprised to hear from me, as our branch of the family weren't in close contact. I explained about my research and that I had read her books (as mentioned above), she said that she was planning to have some more copies made and would be quite willing to forward them to me.

She had just returned recently from a two week holiday in Vancouver in May, where my youngest sister, Rose, met with her for lunch and had a super time with the family. She was in fine health and busy as ever. She had a wonderful, rewarding life, saw and knew so much history, traveling to the Frank farm in Michigan, traveling to Norway and obtaining so much wonderful family history to pass on to all of us. Dorothy, her daughter, has a wealth of family information and traveled along with Aunt Belle in Norway, when her husband was stationed over there and Aunt Belle, went to visit with them.</p><p><p>Her eldest daughter, Dorothy, lives just outside of White Rock85. I'm sure that she would love to hear from you.</p><p><p>Sorry to let you know via email, but I don't have your phone number or home address. If possible, could you let Keith and Deb and Jerry andBarry and Cindy, know of this.</p><p><p>Your cousin,</p></p><p>Julie</p>
