Last year, my brother sent me a link to this story to see if Bob Moffat was a relative of ours. He was not.

It would be interesting to see if any pictures of Lydia Watson nee Kreutzer were included in the two albums. We are not sure, but this Lydia Moffat, who was born in Cupar, may have been a cousin of Lydia Watson who was raised in Lipton, Saskatchewan. They were born about the same time.2,6
