Hello, One of my favorite free websites is the full view / Public Domain portion of Google Books. You can limit the searches to full view. http://books.google.com/ There are some interesting history and genealogy books that have been digitized. The wife of my stonewall is a Pendleton and the family is listed in the Pendleton genealogy done in 1911. They ended up in NB. It is great that I can download a pdf of the book. http://books.google.com/books?id=8pdJAAAAMAAJ Searching on "Brian Pendleton" brings up references within books like information in the History of the town of Stonington, CT. One of my distant cousins was a member of the NB Legislative Assembly and is listed in "The Canadian Parliamentary Companion". http://books.google.com/books?id=pTOz35cGWecC&pg=PA362 Some other interesting titles include "A handbook of information for emigrants to New Brunswick" gives a snapshot of NB around 1857 http://books.google.com/books?id=tfc-AAAAYAAJ "Biographical sketches of loyalists of the American Revolution" http://books.google.com/books?id=fWs4AAAAMAAJ "Foot-prints, or Incidents in early history of New Brunswick" http://books.google.com/books?id=VLINAAAAQAAJ 73 Eric ----- Start Original Message ----- Sent: Sun, 8 Nov 2009 08:53:15 -0700 From: "S.
