    Hi Everyone;

    I recently (August 1 weekend 2009) came across a new website for Canadian Headstone Transcriptions. I was so intrigued I started posting some recent headstones I had photographed. If you live in Canada and want to upload some pics of your local or not so local cemetery or if you are doing Canadian research and want to find that elusive ancestor, check out Canadian Headstones

    Group Photo History

    Hi all;

    This photo has personal as well as historical significance for me.

    My mother was born and raised in view of the ruins of this magnificent building. It is the Chateau and Chapel of the Fortress of Louisbourg, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada.

    Some of my ancestors were responsible for the ruins, as they served in the British Forces during the siege of 1758. Some of my more recent relatives are also responsible for the restoration.
