[QUOTE="Björn Bergenholtz, post: 3266728, member: 113430"] Martin, the "Lewis Fraser" mentioned in your post 20 and our Louis Fraser is clearly the same person. Both noted as; curator of the Zoological Society of London, participant in The Niger Expedition [1841-42] and Author of [I]Zoologia Typica[/I] [1845-1849 ] etc. etc. And note, [U][COLOR="Blue"]if[/COLOR][/U] connected to Canada, in some, whatever way, any English, British, Scottish "[I]Lewis[/I]" could easily turn into a "[I]Louis[/I]" by the partly French-speaking Canadians. If this is the case here, I do not know. If our Louis Fraser (1819/1820–fl. 1883) somehow was related to "William Lewis Fraser (1841-1905)" is also unknown (to me). But like you wrote, they could be ... or not. [COLOR="White"]---[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
