Dear Chris and List, Spooky describes it and it seems that there is a lot of spookiness attached to thissearch for ancestors. Just yesterday while visiting the part of Canada where I had been told I could find m gggrandmothers gravesite I ran into the mother lode of geneaology facts for my family.Several weeks back I corresponded with a woman regarding my gggrandmother and records might be available etc. The date of her death was 1873 so there would be nothing in the Canadian archives that I knew of and now we would have to rely on the church records. The woman who heads her branch of the Ontario Gen. Society responded giving me what info she had and off I went. Driving down acountry road, we were just a little lost and decided to stop at the first house that we saw to ask directions. We pulled into a driveway and were greeted by a gentleman in a white beard. When asked for the directions to the cemetery he sort of grinned and mmotioned his wife to approach. Yep, it was the ! sa! me lady that I had corresponded with. She glady gave us directions but MORE ........when she explained that her family had lived in the area for nearly two hundred years I asked her about another member of the family who is known to have lived there as well. Sure enough she not only knew of the family but also directed me to the family homestead and two other graves, one of which I had been seeking for sometime !!! It was an overwhelming day, to find so many of my ancestors and by such a coincidence. It is almost as though someone directed me there. SPOOKY OR WHAT !!! Enjoy your visit to the colonies and may your gift be enjoyed for many generations to come [email protected]
