Hi, kids are sleeping in (yippee) so I figured I'd take a few moments and post who I am researching. On my grams side, I am looking for Strongs and Robertsons. Duncan was a professor of math at UBC. He married Florence Wood who came to Canada in 1910. He owned a farm on Westam Island, on Robertson Rd (my claim to fame) that was right next to Reifels bird sanctuary-and is now part of it. People talk about going to a cemetary and stumbling over headstones of missing relatives. I had a slightly similar event with the old farm. Out of the blue one day, we decided to drive out there. I brought my camera thinking gram would love a photo of the old barn. A week later, the barn was torn down. Thank goodness for lazy saturday afternoon drives! I don't know much about Sidney Strong. He was the "friend" of Florences. I do know he was born in Quebec and was a Mason. Sidney and Florence had my gram Amy. On my grandpas side, I am researching Janes/Johnson who lived in the Cariboo. My grandpa Zale Johnson had a guide company at Sharpes Lake for awhile. His parents Elma Janes and Oren Johnson were married in Raphel BC-their marriage seems to be the only vital event recorded there. I am presently trying to track down the site of Elmas parents (Nettie and Oren Janes) homestead. It was way off in the bush near Clinton-and was standing in the late 1970s. I apologize for the length of this-its hard to compress family! Cheers, Erin PS I am in Mission BC if anyone needs anything here. I also actively (obsessed?) research BOONES. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
