Notes for Bernhard Laurent ‘Barney’ (Spouse 1)
The family name of Brzoskowski was changed to Birch about 1933.
Memories from granddaughter, Mariette Pine Arsenault (2008):
“Barney was playful and was more strict with the boys than the girls. You did what he asked or else. He treated all the girls like princesses. He was a generous man and a hard worker. Grandma Helen was sweet and treated like a princess as well. He respected her and she was the family matriarch.“
