    I’m also hear looking for Anderson and have Scandinavian DNA. The father of My great-grandmother Emma Louise Anderson (born 1866?), married at Twillingate to James Norman Percy, the daughter of a “Late Captain Henry Anderson, Lost At Sea” (newspaper clipping) She had a younger sister named Jesse and a brother John Robert. Jesse eventually moved to USA (married Oughtred) and my great-grandparents Emma and JN Percy had two sons in Newfoundland- Cecil and Hubert- before the family moved to Montreal, Quebec where they had a third son Edward, my biological great-grandfather. Cecil and Hubert were professional soldiers, possibly Victoria Rifles, my grandfather was about 15, fibbing about his age, when he enlisted in the Grenadiers of Montreal. All three elsest brothers were veterans of active service in WW1. Other children, Norman, Marjorie, and William (Billy) were born in Montreal.
    The trail has gone cold on Captain Henry Anderson, and the Scandinavian DNA being fairly has me wondering if I’m looking in the wrong places for him. Hoping to compare notes
