Muriel: Many thanks for looking after this list. More importantly, my condolences on the recent passing of your husband. ... Al Lewis Ottawa ----- Original Message ----- From: Muriel M. Davidson To: "Al Lewis" Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 3:15 PM Subject: Re: [Can-Ont-Carleton] Extracting segments from the 1879 Carleton County Maps Hi Al -- I have not examined the site as yet -- but I will assure you I am a strange list administrator. Genealogy is far more than names and dates, but should include history of the era. Believe it or not, when my husband passed away last week in Brampton, there were pictures -- including one of Bill, our two youngest grandchildren and their father in a canoe, PLUS a picture of the old two-seater (and I do not mean a car) where my husband was born. Keep the extracts coming!!!
