Hi Debbie, maybe I can help, I do have some Howell info. The family originated around Carbonear, moved from there to Western Bay and from there to Cobbler's Island, BB. I do have some of their family tree. What exactly are you looking for ?

Hi Judy -- I've gotten soo many replies today that it is overwhelming. One gal offered to meet up with me in the St John's area dn show me around as well as to the ROOMS. I was thinking of getting a cabin on the ferry to Argentia. I've also heard about the Moose at night and had not planned on driving at night. That would be another reason for going via Argentia. I am waiting to hear from some friends in Nova Scotia who have roots in NL for their comments. Thanks for the tip on the guilt and pillow. I am in the process of making a Celtic Colours 2006 quilt. I bought the fabric in Mabou, Nova Scotia while at Celtic Colours this past fall. So that would be a good one to bring (if it's finished !!) How many times have you traveled from Florida to Newfoundland and how many days does it take?

Dear Maureen, I drove by myself from FLorida to NL last summer.I went to Argentia because if was that many less hours driving. I recommend bringing your own quilt and pillow which was recommended to me. I slept 13 of the 14hrs after taking a Gravol for possible seasickness. It was wonderful and relaxing and no big trip after you arrive. Just my opinion. Do not do any driving at night in NL as the moose are all over the place.

Hi Maureen. There are two routes to NF by ferry, both are from Sidney, Nova Scotia. There is a short 5-6 hour trip to Port aux Basques, located on the SW corner of the province and a 17-18 hour trip that goes along the south coast to Argentia. From Port aux Basques you have about an 11-12 hour drive across the island to St John's, from Argentia it's 1 1/2 hours to St John's. I would suggest if you have the time that you enter via Port aux Basques, take your time on the trip across the island (visit a few communities along the way) and leave via Argentia unless you want to drive over the same road (there is only one route across the province) to leave. There are many great B&B's located all the way across the province but if you are into hotels/motels the major ones are mostly located in Corner Brook, Grand Falls, Gander Clarenville. When you get to St John's there are a number of very good B&B's close to the Rooms as well as most of the major hotels you would find in any mid size Canadian city. I would tend to stay somewhere in the downtown area of the city. Harbour Grace and Mosquito are located in Conception Bay about 1 hours drive from St John's. I would suggest that you take the Conception Bay highway (along the coast and thru many communities) at least in one direction and if you are in a hurry return via the Trans Canada Highway. By the way, the community known as Mosquito is located between Harbour Grace and Carbonear, and is now called Bristol's Hope. This area of the province is a beautiful place to spend a day to two and if you decide to stay in the area, might I suggest you try Keneally Manor, it is one of the oldest remaining homes in Carbonear but well restored. Here is one of the websites http://www.bbcanada.com/9478.html you can look at, there are others. Enjoy your trip and if you stop into one of the over 30 Tim Horton's in St John's you may see me. :-) Ed Barbour ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maureen Taylor" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 12:25 PM Subject: [NFLD-LAB] trip to Newfoundland > Hi Lists -- > > I'm thinking of goint to Newfoundland this summer.

Where are you leaving from? If you are leaving from Guysborough, you can drive to the boat.... once off the boat you are only 1.5 hours from St. John's..... so for that leg of the trip, you won't need to stay anywhere I'm thinking. Which Mosquito cove are you going to? I think there is one on the Burin Peninsula and one on the west coast..... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Sun, 14 Jan 2007 10:55 AM Subject: [NFLD-LAB] trip to Newfoundland Hi Lists -- I'm thinking of goint to Newfoundland this summer.

You are wise to make this commitment to visiting Newfoundland. My yearly visits are eagerly awaited. You should not be overly concerned about traveling alone on the Rock. There is crime but it does not seem to touch visitors. While in St John's, there are many really great B&B's which I have sampled, most of which are downtown and even in the vacinity of the Rooms. They are very convenient to shopping and a real variety of eating establishments. There are many sites on the web to get info. Sorry, others will have to provide info for Harbour Grace and Mosquitto Cove as I focus on the Burin Peninsula.

I received some new and interestign info on this issue....it couldn't be my dad (tho it's in the 1930 census) because his mom, Anastasia had twins and was back in Fox Harbour for baptism shortly thereafter. I went back and looked at the record again, tho Petty Harbour was written by my dad's name, it then went on to mention cousin Ellen Murray, age 16 of Brigus. I now think she was the one born in Petty Harbour. I do so thank you for trying - if I can look up anything in US for you, please let me know.
