This is a very, very early work in progress. This will get better, more will be added.
This is my family - my brothers and sisters. That's me - the cute one! I was so cute that my brothers Gerry and Bob had to fight over who could hold me on their knees. Gerry won, and Bob (on the right) is obviously not happy about it. That's Carole with the big smile (because she got to sit beside me), and Marion, who seems to be thinking that she could be somewhere else, anywhere else - where she wouldn't have to compete with her really cute little brother.

Some of this site is of general interest, and some, like the section on maps, are areas that I want to research - taking the data in my family history database in new directions.
Some pages I have put together include:
Overview of the 4 families in my immediate ancestry: Leroux and McCann on my Fathers side, O'Connor and Walsh on my Mothers.
Some interesting family members. To me, anyone that spends 6 weeks on a cramped ship while immigrating to a new country, carves out land for a house and crops and raises a boatload of children is interesting. I had to limit things, so I picked a few..
Some statistics. Because I like numbers.
Les Filles du Roi. We've always known that we had a Filles du Roi in the family. Everyone with ancesters in Quebec does. Then I started researching them a bit more, and found another, then another, until now I am up to 16.
Soldats du Carignan. The soldiers who came to initially support the colony. I've just started looking at this, so it may be a little while before this link becomes active.
The Bell at St-Regis. Maybe it's just a story. Maybe there is some truth to it. Either way, it's interesting.
List of names. Every family history needs a list of people. You can find it here.
