Introduction
The Sydney Gordon Myles fonds represents a significant resource for genealogists researching families from the south coast of Newfoundland, particularly the area from Burgeo to Channel-Port aux Basques. The fonds was donated to the Newfoundland and Labrador Genealogical Society in 1997. Preliminary arrangement and description was carried out under a Summer Career Placement Program in 2000, with the advice from the Association of Newfoundland and Labrador Archives' Professional Development Officer. Roberta Thomas was contracted to produce the final guide in October 2001.

This Guide was funded by a grant from the Canadian Council of Archives (CCA), administered by the Association of Newfoundland and Labrador Archives (ANLA). The Newfoundland and Labrador Genealogical Society gratefully acknowledges the support of both these organizations.

Title
Biographical sketch
- Gordon Myles was born Sydney Gordon Miles at Grand Bruit, Newfoundland, on March 15, 1936. He was the son of Marjorie Florence Billard and Roy Cameron Miles. The Miles family moved to Sudbury, Ontario when Gordon was 14. He completed grade 8 at Grand Bruit and subsequently attended the Sudbury Mining and Technical Institute Secondary School, graduation from grade 10 in 1952. The family changed their name from Miles to Myles when they moved to Sudbury, because it was a more widely recognized spelling of the name. Gordon was successful at school and was the recipient of a number of awards. In 1953 Myles' father, mother and sister were killed in a boating accident, and Gordon went to live with his aunt and uncle, Dorothy and Ross Billard. He finished secondary school in 1955, and enrolled in Victoria College, University of Toronto, graduating four years later with an honours degree in history. Immediately after graduating, Gordon was employed as a researcher with the Ontario-St. Lawrence Development Commission and the following September, (1959) he went to work at the Public Archives of Ontarion in Toronto.
- Gordon Myles married Marilyn Janet Hussey in 1960. The same year, he enrolled at Ontario College of Education in Toronto, and in 1961, he was hired by the Etobicoke Board of Education. Five year later he became the head of the history department at a new school under the Etobicoke Board. In 1974 he took a year's leave to study at the University of Toronto School of Library Science and was awarded a master's degree in December 1976. In 1979 he was appointed head of the Library Department in the Etobicoke School system.
- Gordon and Marilyn had three children; a baby boy who died shortly after birth in 1963; Monica Diana Myles, born July 21, 1965 and Leah Elizabeth, born February 28, 1969. In 1979, Gordon and Marilyn separated. Following a divorce in 1983, Gordon married Gloria Maria (Kitts) Miller. He began his family research in 1984, continuing intil his death in 1996.

Series and file description
Series 1: Correspondence. - 1984-1996. - 25 cm
The Correspondence consists of letters relating entirely to Gordon Myles family research activities. They represent an organized search for information from a wide range of relatives, family acquaintances and people sharing his family name(s), as well as from archival repositories and libraries. As the research grew, the circle widened to include correspondents from all over North America. Many of the outgoing letters were accompanied by a detailed, customized questionnaire, blank copies of which were kept with the ongoing correspondence. Replies were attached to the outgoing correspondence, and the completed questionnaires were filed in the appropriate family file (see Family Histories, series 2). The blank questionnaires have been removed from the correspondence, but have been retained in file 1.11 in this series. The correspondence is arranged chronologically by the date of the outgoing letter.
