I can find little information on him and would like to find any further information at all. If anyone does receive this message and has advice on how to further research Frank Burnett's career, please contact me at vkuttainen@gmail.com.

It's introductory reading anytime someone wants to move in. :)<br /><br />A friend of mine directed me to this blogpost, probably when he googled the address of our house! It was nice to be refreshed of the story. It's a real delight to appreciate the history of the house that is in part my home now. :)<br />I have yet to visit the UBC Museum of Anthropology with my newly informed eyes, on the lookout for some of the items that once shared a living space I now occupy.<br /><br />(and how neat to have a comment- almost exactly a year ago in fact- from Nina's great-great grandaughter!)<br /><br />Thanks again for the post;<br />-Mark NortheyOstensive Lymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605919388856782153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586814264042577004.post-10129981195965252052010-04-19T10:46:24.138-07:002010-04-19T10:46:24.138-07:00I am so sorry I was not aware of this comment unti...I am so sorry I was not aware of this comment until now.

We are now scattered about Canada and the United States. My grandmother (Nina Blakemore's youngest daughter) had many of these artifacts in her possession, including the fish in this picture until her death.<br /><br />http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KH7iEBzq4tk/Ssuj3MIMAmI/AAAAAAAAAbk/4GItzvP-p6Q/s1600-h/CVA+Out+P+662+Part+of+Dr.+Frank+Burnett%27s+collection+of+South+Seas%27+artifacts%5D,+%5B1920s%5D.jpg <br /><br />Our family donated all of my grandmother's artifacts to the Museum of Anthropology at UBC in 2003. You can contact Dr. Carol Mayer, Curator for more information.<br /><br />My grandmother adored her grandfather and used to tell wonderful stories about summers spent in that Vancouver house.
