Sorry folks, I didn't think that last message through very carefully.

I have just subscribed to World Vital Records because I was made an offer I couldn't refuse through my genealogy software maker and because I have no sense....... sometimes. While exploring the site and what it had to offer, I put in the word Penetanguishene in the search engine. there were many records in various books, as you can imagine, but the following record surprised me. I am not registered with the Ellis Island website but if you have an interest in this family, you can check out the full record yourself. Ellis Island Passenger Arrival Records (1892 - 1924) Fred W.

I really need some help as I have gone as far as I can on a family until the 1891 and 1871 census becomes available. I have a family that shows up in the 1881 as an Irish family. In 1901 they are listed as English and Canadian. However, I was contacted a couple of days ago by someone who is saying they are connected to his German family.

Hi Wayne Just a thought if it is not too far - can you take a second picture - and one with another camera?

Wayne: I don't want to be a killjoy......................but.................... I strongly suspect that you have a problem with your camera or its lens. I've taken many, many shots of red granite tombstones such as that (the toughest kind of tombstone to photograph in direct or indirect light). Notice that the colour and vividness of the stone overpowers the inscription, so you can't make out the letters? Not natural at all. I think it's your lens, or (if you're using a digital camera) your "card". Take it to a camera shop (such as "Black's Photography"). They'll advise you. If I understand you correctly, the "angel" image doesn't show up when you look at the stone with your own eyes. That's the clue to a defect in the camera lens, or a smudge on the lens, or a problem with the "card". Doesn't mean that I think strange things can't happen (speaking as someone who whistles past the graveyard occasionally). Anyway - as we used to say Down East - ..................... think upon it...............................

Wayne, I did take a look at the pic you provided and I wonder if your camera has picked up a subtle attempt by somebody to "clean up" the stone? Maybe somebody was trying to read it and committed a "no-no" ? If you look just under the crown of the stone in your pic you will see a small spot that appears lighter as if somebody had rubbed the stone with some thing ,maybe changing, ever so slightly, the surface characteristics of the ? granite? That would be my take on it and no I dont see a dog .....just an area of lighter colour or reflection due to different surface characteristics caught by your camera.(?) Just a thought.
