Have you received the information that you needed regarding the Oplands? There is an Opland family (perhaps two) that have cottage(s) by ours at Lac La Belle. All of the families at the end of the road have had cottages there for quite some time. If you have not received the information that you hoped for, let me know and I will inquire about the Oplands with my grandmother, who owns the cottage and knows the family.
