Tidbits of info. about names of Towns, Villages, it's location and history of the "Western Region", Island portion of our Province,"Newfoundland & Labrador". ENJOY! The Path Of Our Ancestors: Rose Blanche Lighthouse Scenic Drive Granite Sentinel This tour takes you from the ferry terminal at Port aux Basques to the Rose Blanche lighthouse 45 km to the east along Route 470. On this side trip you will see dark cliffs, crashing waves, spume and spray. The real spirit and traditions of outport Newfoundland survive in the small fishing villages that cling tenaciously to the rocky, exposed shores of the southern coastal plain. The Rose Blanche lighthouse has one of the best scenic views of the Cabot Strait. A three-year reconstruction of the granite lighthouse, which went into service in 1873, was completed in 1999. Early mariners like Sir Humphrey Gilbert, Jacques Cartier and Captain John Mason explored this rugged coast more than 400 years ago. Many of the community names in the area are English versions of the original French or Basques names given them by the area's first settlers. Rose Blanche is named for the white granite - in French rock is roche, and in English roche has been changed to rose - that the community is built on. Rose Blanche is the western terminus for the coastal boat that services isolated communities along Newfoundland's south coast. From here you can catch a boat six days a week to La Poile and Grand Bruit where you can experience a different kind of lifestyle. There is also a trip from Grand Bruit to Burgeo, further east, on the day when Rose Blanche is not serviced Other boats from Burgeo travel east to Hermitage-Sandyville. After leaving Rose Blanche and heading west, Harbour Le Cou, celebrated in the Newfoundland folk song of the same name, also bears witness to the French element on this shore. Along Route 470, you will pass through a number of small fishing communities including Diamond Cove, and Burnt Islands. Be sure to explore the unique heath-covered terrain of coastal Newfoundland before you continue on to Isle aux Morts, or Island of the Dead. This community earned its macabre name because of the number of marine disasters that happened in the treacherous waters offshore. This coastal area has a long history of death and disaster, with the wrecks of no fewer than 40 ships said to be lying at the bottom of the Cabot Strait. These tragedies have given rise to many traditional songs and stories of lost ships and courageous rescues at sea. There is none as moving as the true story of George Harvey, his son and his daughter, Ann. In 1828, these brave residents of Isle aux Morts saved nearly the entire complement of passengers and crew from the sinking Despatch by stringing a lifeline from the ship to the shore with the help of their valiant Newfoundland dog. The local heroes' courage was recognized by King George IV who awarded the Harveys a medal of bravery. After passing the community of Margaree-Fox Roost, it's back to Channel-Port aux Basques. Situated on the southwest coastal plain, this was a fishing station for the French, Portuguese and Basques as early as the 16th century. While it is named for the Basques, it was hardly their only port: research in Spanish archives uncovered information that Basques whalers and fishermen occupied at least seven islands on Newfoundland's west coast and in southern Labrador. Port aux Basques is the principal Marine Atlantic ferry terminal in the province. There's a boardwalk between the ferry terminal and Scott's Cove Park where you can stretch your legs. The community museum houses two rare 17th century astrolabes, early marine navigational instruments - only 33 are known to exist worldwide - and both were found by a local diver. The Gulf Museum also boasts a 100-year-old diving suit. While in Port aux Basques you can also visit Memorial Park featuring monuments for the S.S. Caribou and World Wars I and II. Before getting back on Route 1, drop by the Railway Heritage Centre for a guided tour of the restored train filled with artifacts from a century ago. Channel-Port aux Basques is the western end of T'Railway Provincial Park, a 545-mile jaunt through the wilderness that follows the abandoned Newfoundland Railway line all the way to St. John's. It's part of the Trans-Canada Trail. Just west of Port aux Basques are the beaches at Grand Bay West, home to the endangered Piping Plover. These are among the best of the relatively few sandy beaches in Newfoundland. Here also you will find another feature rare in Newfoundland: salt marshes. These marshes attract many different kinds of shorebirds and waterfowl because of their lush growth. This southwestern corner of Newfoundland is a great place to see birds during the spring and fall migrations. An Outport Adventure Cruise The Southwest Coast by Boat >From Rose Blanche you can take a coastal boat - passengers only - to La Poile and Grand Bruit, two isolated communities on the south coast. The coastal boat operates six days a week, and once a week continues on to Burgeo, three hours from Grand Bruit, from where there are road connections (Route 480) to the rest of Newfoundland and coastal boat connections to other communities as far east as Hermitage-Sandyville, where you can pick up Route 364. Contact the operators for sailing times. Tip: When travelling the south coast, it's always a good idea to plan everything in advance because the remote communities' only transportation link is the coastal boat. Fares are very modest. It's about a 90-minute boat trip from Rose Blanche to La Poile, a fishing community of fewer than 200 residents. Its name comes from the French words "les poiles," or soldiers who patrolled the area to discourage permanent settlement by people from St. Pierre, the French territory just off the Newfoundland coast, who fished here and cut timber to supplement the meagre forests on St. Pierre and nearby Miquelon. Another hour east is Grand Bruit. Its name means, in French, "great noise," which is exactly what is generated by the water falling over a 305-metre high cliff near the community. Typically, south coast communities are tiny hamlets that sit at the base of towering cliffs. Codroy Valley International Wetlands Migratory Waterfowl Stopover A 10-minute drive from Port aux Basques north on Route 1 takes you to J.T. Cheeseman Provincial Park where the shoreline offers a stretch of sheltered beach with soft powdery sand. The park is a good place to see the Piping Plover, an endangered bird species with only 500 or so in Atlantic Canada and fewer than 5,000 in total worldwide. Cheeseman Park, Grand Bay West, Searston and Sandy Point (further north near St. George's) all have sandy beaches the plovers favour and are recommended viewing areas. But please don't disturb these birds. Look here also for the Common Loon, Murre, Canada Goose and Pine Grosbeak. You'll also find the White Admiral and Atlantis Fritillary butterflies. There's a 2-km trail called Smokey Cape, named for the windblown surf found at the beach parking lot which creates a "smokey" effect. Take a walk along the beach to search for surf clams and dogwinkles. The beach is really a barachois, or sand dune. The gravel road through the park meets paved Route 408, which takes you to the community of Cape Ray three km from Route 1, one of three capes forming the triangular points of the Island of Newfoundland. Situated between the Cape Ray lighthouse and the Gulf of St. Lawrence is a site that was used as a summer hunting camp by the Dorset people from 420 B.C. to 385 A.D. Cape Ray was also the site of the first submarine telegraph cable in Newfoundland. Laid in 1856, this project was the last link in the communication chain that joined St. John's to New York and connected Newfoundland with the rest of North America. After a visit to the cape, you can sunbathe or windsurf at nearby Cape Ray Sands, or you can drive up a gravel road to Red Rocks, a former farming and fishing community with a handful of residents. There's a spectacular view from the 1,000-foot high Sugar Loaf behind Red Rocks. Take Route 408 back to Route 1. The highway now climbs steadily north along the province's West Coast. The terrain changes dramatically and the low-lying barrens give way to the southwest section of the Long Range Mountains, a part of the ancient Appalachian escarpment. Throughout this region you will see spectacular mountain scenery and encounter ridges to challenge the imagination and the skill of amateur rock scramblers. These ancient mountains are full of surprises such as Table Mountain, a 518 m geological oddity that has been known to literally take your breath away. You can see it from Cheeseman Park. Hurling gale force winds down from its summit to the stunted weather-beaten forest below, the moody Table Mountain sometimes raises gusts exceeding 160 km/h which disrupt highway traffic and were known to derail the now discontinued trains. Little wonder this area is called Wreck House! Table Mountain is accessible by a trail. During World War II, the United States built a radar station, an air strip and assorted buildings on top of the mountain. In the valley below Table Mountain was the home of Lauchie MacDougall, the famous human wind gauge. Lauchie was under contract to the Newfoundland Railway to determine whether the area was passable for trains on any given day and to notify them if the gusts were too high. After his death in 1965, his wife continued the work until 1972. Today, truckers rely on CB radios and word-of-mouth for news about the wind. Continue on Route 1 to its intersection with Route 407, about 35 km from Port aux Basques. You are now entering the Codroy Valley, one of the best farming areas in the province. The Codroy Valley was one of the earliest settled sections of the West Coast. French colonists arrived in the 1700s and were later joined by Scots and Channel Islanders from across the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The Scots settled in the fertile valley south of the Anguille Mountains and their descendants still farm some of the best agricultural land on the island. Route 407 takes you on a pleasant ride south along the Little Codroy River to St. Andrews, where the agricultural landscape contrasts with the Long Range Mountains in the background. The mountains also provide a magnificent backdrop for a 9-hole golf course. In St. Andrews, take the road toward Upper Ferry and cross the Grand Codroy River. At the intersection of Routes 406 and 407, is the Old Codroy Carding Mill that operated between 1893 and 1965, and is now restored as a working museum. Continue on through Codroy to the end of Route 407 and Cape Anguille, the most westerly point of the island of Newfoundland. Shaded by the Anguille Mountains to the east, the cape boasts a spectacular view from its lighthouse, which was built in 1905 following a marine disaster. Before leaving Codroy be sure to drop by the Holy Trinity Anglican Church which held its first service back in 1914. On the return trip, take Route 406 to the Grand Codroy Wildlife Museum and Art Gallery. Here, you can see Newfoundland's largest mounted moose along with more than 300 different species of animals, birds and fish beautifully set in their natural surroundings. A little further on Route 406, you will find the Grand Codroy RV Camping Park. This park, with some fully-serviced sites, is situated on the banks of the Grand Codroy River and offers large, level fully serviced sites, grassy tenting sites and a unique walking trail ideal for bird watchers. The Grand Codroy Ramsar Site is recognized by the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance. The 925 hectare area at the mouth of the Grand Codroy River consists of a large coastal estuary containing flats, sand bars exposed at low tide and sand spits covered by dune grass. Portions of the wetlands are covered by thick eel grass. There are also four small islands in the wetlands. The estuary provides habitat for large flocks of Canada Goose and Black Duck, and smaller numbers of Pintail, Green-Winged Teal, American Wigeon and Greater Scaup. Newfoundland's west coast is a north-south flyway for many migrating birds, and the wetlands provide food and a resting stop in spring for northbound birds that have just crossed the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and in fall a stopover for the return flight south. It's also a good place to see rarities blown off course during migration. There is an interpretation centre directly on the estuary and an interpretation trail running along the banks of the Grand Codroy River, an easy restful walk from the interpretation centre to Grand Codroy Park. Interpretation panels enhance the understanding of estuaries, ecosystems, species adaptation and models for environmental stewardship. The centre also provides ongoing educational programs and interactive exhibits that provide visitors, especially young children, with an opportunity to learn in a hands-on way. Anglers should bring their flies and tackle when visiting this area because the Grand Codroy and Little Codroy are scheduled salmon rivers. To be continued:

I request a parish record search in April and just received my result. I thought that I would not hear something and was very please to get information today. In searching for information about the APPLIN/APLIN family, parish records indicate that John GIBBON, Joseph WILLIAMS, and Matilda JACKSON were sponsors to my great grandfather, Henry Thomas APLIN's baptism that occurred on June 29 1880. DOB was Sept 7 1878. It lists place of residence as S. Genevieve Bay. Can someone tell me the location of this place.... is it Saint Genevieve or South Genevieve Bay? John Gibbon's name is also written in a family bible but I do not know the connection. I have been searching for a year straight about information about the Applin family with little results. I truly could use some help. tks Cindy "Nanny, I'm determined to know more about you !" --------------------------------- Post your free ad now! Yahoo! Canada Personals

Conclusion of tidbits of info. about names of Towns, Villages, it's location and history of beautiful "Labrador", mainland of our Province, "Newfoundland & Labrador". ENJOY! Labrador Coastal Boats Part 1: Charlottetown-Norman Bay-Pinsent Arm-Williams Harbour There's a mix of permanent communities and summer fishing stations along this part of the coast. The coastal boat stops at the four permanent settlements. The fishing stations were places where fishermen from Newfoundland, who couldn't get a fishing berth (a place to fish) along the coast where they lived, went north in summer to catch and salt cod. Sometimes the whole family went along and lived aboard the family's boat, or built summer quarters next to the flakes where fish was cured. This was called the floater fishery and it lasted for more than two centuries, declining only in the 1980s. Over time some of the floaters stayed and became livyers - people who live in a place year round. >From Charlottetown you can catch the coastal boat north to Norman Bay. This used to be a wintering station for people from the nearby coast until the 1960s. One family resisted efforts to have them resettle to larger communities, and they were eventually joined by a few others, who kept the tiny village alive, commuting to Charlottetown for supplies by speedboat when the water was free of ice, and via snowmobile in winter. Now they can take the coastal boat during the shipping season. Pinsent Arm is about 20 kilometres southeast of Charlottetown, and although it was a winter residence for some stationers on and off from the 1860s onward, it was permanently settled only in the 1950s, and was electrified only in 1985 when a diesel generator was installed. Williams Harbour is south of Pinsent Arm and 35 km east of Port Hope Simpson. This is another community whose status has changed from summer fishing station to permanent settlement. Migratory fishermen from England first fished here in the 1700s, and the harbour was settled in the 1840s, declining and increasing with the fortunes of the fishery. The establishment of a fish plant in the late 1970s persuaded residents to abandon their winter place at nearby Rexon's Cove and move to Williams Harbour permanently. Part 2: Cartwright to Happy Valley-Goose Bay The ferry from Cartwright to Happy Valley-Goose Bay traverses the narrow waterway of Hamilton Inlet that connects the ocean to Lake Melville. It was probably here that Norse rovers Thorvald Eiriksson and Thorfinn Karlsefni landed on their journey westward to undiscovered lands. Some people believe that the Lake Melville area was the Markland - the Land of Forests - of the Viking sagas. Eiriksson's description of a river that flowed east to west fits the English River which flows into the south side of Lake Melville. The ferry ride takes about 12 hours and is a good opportunity to do some shipboard bird-watching. Among the birds you might see from on deck are Razorbill, Black Guillemot, Atlantic Puffin, Northern Gannet, Red-necked Phalarope, Great Black-Backed Gull, Black-Legged Kittiwake, Jaegers, Arctic Tern, and Common Murre. >From the mouth of Hamilton Inlet on Groswater Bay it's 240 km to the head of Lake Melville at Happy Valley-Goose Bay. At its narrowest the inlet is only two or three kilometres wide, but then opens into Lake Melville, a salt water lake that's also the drainage basin for the Churchill and other rivers. Aboriginal people were living here when Europeans began exploring in the 16th century, and after a period of initial conflict, a fur trading relationship was established. A fishery developed in the 19th century, and in 1898 a regular coastal boat service was established between Newfoundland and Lake Melville Part 3: The North Coast Happy Valley-Goose Bay is the home port for the coastal steamer service along the rugged north coast. Reservations for this trip must be made in advance, as only a limited number of berths are available. Most people who use the coastal boat are residents, and the vessel also brings cargo to half a dozen isolated and widely separated communities north to Nain. The first stop is on the shores of Hamilton Inlet at Rigolet, a community with a long - and continuing - history of fur trapping and fishing. This small town was a fur trading centre, first for the French and later the English, starting in the eighteenth century. The Hudson Bay Company took over the post in 1836. Except for a brief period during World War II when this was the site of a Canadian Army Base, life has not changed here for two centuries. In fact, the Blakes, Olivers, Groves, Shepards and other families trace their arrival in Rigolet to before 1800 and can tell visitors how their ancestors lived. Just ask. The town is also well-known for various craft items made from a special grass that grows in the area. The coastal boat now takes a southern detour to Cartwright and Black Tickle before heading north. Black Tickle, on Island of Ponds, is a year-round settlement and a fishing community. It was founded in the mid-19th century by a group of British naval seamen who jumped ship. Some of the winter residents are stationers who go fishing elsewhere on the coast in summer. The boat stops again at Cartwright before heading for the north coast. Makkovik was first settled in the early part of the 19th century by a Norwegian fur trader, Torsten Andersen, and his Labrador wife, Mary Thomas. By 1896, the settlement had grown enough for the Moravian Missions to build a church complex that was in use until 1948. Life here has not changed significantly through the centuries. The people still fish and hunt and carry on many aspects of their traditional culture. At the retail outlet you will be able to purchase duffle parkas, mittens and slippers as well as bone jewellery, antler buttons and other fine examples of native crafts. Just north of Makkovik, at the head of Kaipokok Bay is Postville. While this small town began its life as a fur trading post in 1843 and a Quebec merchant, D.R. Stewart, is listed as its first settler, people have been coming to Postville for thousands of years. The Dorset Eskimo, who lived along this coast almost 4,000 years ago, came here every spring to fish and to hunt. Further up the coast at Hopedale you can visit the Hopedale Mission, the oldest wooden frame building east of Quebec. This structure, now a National Historic Site, includes a church, a store, a residence for missionaries, a storehouse and several small huts that were used to house the visiting native people. It has stood on this site since 1782 when the Moravian Church was granted permission by the British Government to establish a mission in this remote community. The Innu who have lived at Davis Inlet since the 1960s are now moving to a completely new community 15 kilometres away on Sango Bay called Natuashish. The move is expected to be completed in the spring of 2003. After calling at Sango Bay, the boat heads for Voisey's Bay where a huge nickel deposit is being developed. The northernmost community - and the last stop for the coastal boat - is Nain where a Moravian Mission was established in 1771. Craftsmen in this community are justifiably famous for their soapstone carvings. Long-abandoned Hebron was once one of the most northerly communities on the north Labrador coast. A Moravian Mission station was constructed here from 1829 to 1831 but the main buildings - the church, the mission house and the store - were not inhabited until 1837. The station was abandoned in 1959 but, since that time, the structure has been stabilized. Visitors are invited to tour this National Historic Site. You'll have to make arrangements with a local outfitter for a boat trip to Hebron or other northern areas. At the very tip of Labrador you will marvel at such sights as the stark and ruggedly beautiful Torngat Mountains. The northern tundra region and the mountains of the Torngat Ranges regularly attract experienced naturalists and mountain climbers of international acclaim. If you have the skill and the spirit, this is the vacation for you. A new national park reserve is being established in this area and should be in service in five years. You can also reach coastal Labrador by regularly scheduled air service or air charter.

Tidbits of info. about names of Towns, Villages, it's location and history of beautiful "Labrador", mainland of our Province, "Newfoundland & Labrador" ENJOY! Labrador Frontier Circuit Across Labrador by Road and Ferry The interior of Labrador is a vast wilderness with recent pockets of modern industrialization in Wabush/Labrador City, Churchill Falls and Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Those who come this way will find an outdoor lover's paradise. There are thousands of pristine lakes teeming with trout, hundreds of rivers that will test your boating skills and kilometre after kilometre of forests and barren ground filled with game. Labrador has an area of 293,347 square kilometres and a population of only about 30,000 permanent residents. Only recently have western and central Labrador become accessible to motor vehicles. Every year, as the road system is expanded, more and more of this wild and wonderful part of the world is opened up. It is now possible to drive from Baie Comeau in Quebec to Labrador City and Wabush in western Labrador, then drive across Labrador to Happy Valley-Goose Bay, take a ferry to Cartwright, drive south 411 km to Blanc Sablon, take the ferry from there to St. Barbe on Newfoundland's northwest coast, and then take a ferry from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia. To begin this adventure, take partially paved Quebec Route 389 from Baie Comeau on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River and drive 581 kilometres through some incredibly beautiful countryside, passing through the Quebec communities of Manic V and Fermont, and into Labrador. The drive takes about 8.5 hours. You can also take a train from Sept Isles, Quebec, Labrador City/Wabush. This train is owned by the Iron Ore Company of Canada and primarily hauls iron ore pellets. Western Labrador is known for its mining. The largest open-pit iron ore mining, concentrate and pelletizing mineral operation in North America is located at Labrador City, the heart of industrial Labrador. Since 1958, Labrador City and Wabush have grown from work camps to modern towns with many services and amenities usually found in much larger centres. Labrador West offers visitors excellent summer sports and outdoor recreational activities which include some of the world's best angling. The Labrador City/Wabush area has facilities that attract curlers and golfers from all over. This part of Labrador also provides serious ski buffs with unparalleled downhill and cross-country action. The Smokey Mountain Alpine Ski Club and the Menihek Nordic Ski Club offer facilities that will please everyone from beginners to experts. The Nordic Ski Club is a world-class facility that has twice hosted World Cup events. A major attraction every March is the Labrador 125 International Sled Dog Race. Although only a few years old, this annual event has rapidly developed a reputation as a challenge for even experienced mushers who have competed in the Iditarod and other races in northern Canada and Alaska. Another recent addition to winter fun is the annual snowmobile festival sponsored by the White Wolf Snowmobile Club. This large club has trail groomers making trails all over the area, taking riders out into the wilderness to enjoy the scenery and, most years, to look at the world's largest caribou herd. This Quebec-Labrador herd migrates across provincial boundaries each year - hence its name - and numbers about 450,000 animals. In Labrador West, an adventure holiday is available with all the comforts of home. Duley Lake Family Park about 10 km from Labrador City, is a great place to stay if you really want to get a feel for the outdoors. This 75-site camping park has swimming, boating, picnic facilities and an excellent sandy beach. A second camping facility is Grande Hermine Wilderness Park located 33 km from Wabush/Labrador City on the Trans-Labrador Highway (Route 500), has 75 landscaped sites with water hookups, as well as a beach, picnic facilities and boat rentals. Visitors will love the natural beauty of this park with its caribou moss, glacial eskers and erratics. Route 500 is called The Freedom Road because it frees Labradorians to drive to larger centres and other provinces. For decades they were restricted to air, ferry or train travel because there were no roads out of Labrador. But the Freedom Road is no superhighway. From Labrador West to Churchill Falls it's 238 km of good gravel road. Average driving time is about three hours. The road between Churchill Falls and Happy Valley-Goose Bay has now been upgraded. It will take you an average of four to five hours to cover the 288 kilometres. At Churchill Falls there is a modern town with services, accommodations and some very interesting attractions to visit. The community was built around one of the wonders of the modern world. At this point in its course, the waters of the Churchill River fall over 300 m in a 32-km section, which made it ideal for one of the world's largest hydroelectric generating stations. The water was diverted into underground facilities where the huge turbines produce 5,225 megawatts of power. Tours of this huge operation can be arranged at the town office. A lot has changed in Labrador since World War II. Happy Valley-Goose Bay was made a transatlantic aircraft ferry facility by the wartime governments of the United States, Canada and Great Britain. Military activity had been decreasing substantially since World War II, but in recent years American, British, German and Dutch Air Forces have used the area as a base for low-level flight training. Happy Valley-Goose Bay is the major distribution centre of goods for coastal Labrador and it is the location of government offices for the region. In late July or early August, Happy Valley-Goose Bay is the site of the annual German Hangar Fest, an opportunity to sample the food, music and culture of Germany in an event hosted by the German air force. In early March there's a winter carnival that's always a great deal of fun. It features all kinds of outdoor and indoor activities including snow-sculptures. Some say that this part of the world is at its best during the winter months. The country is spectacular and there's lots to do - ice-fishing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and tobogganing - just to name a few. Downhill enthusiasts will love the Snow Goose Mountain Ski Club with its long runs and great apres-ski hospitality, while the Birch Brook Nordic Club draws raves from cross-country enthusiasts. Two other communities accessible by road from Happy Valley-Goose Bay are Sheshatshui and North West River, the former International Grenfell Association headquarters for Labrador. This community was the home of Donald Smith (later Lord Strathcona), the Hudson Bay factor in Lake Melville who went on to become a driving force in the Company and earned distinction for his part as mediator in the Canadian Riel uprising. The present road through the community follows the horse trail Smith constructed to court his wife during Sunday afternoon carriage drives. Modern day North West River is home to the descendants of the English, French and Scots who first made a living here as hunters and trappers. Sheshatshui is home to the Montagnais Innu, descendants of Labrador's once nomadic interior caribou hunters. A passenger and car ferry operates from Happy Valley-Goose Bay to Cartwright on the Labrador coast from mid-June to mid-September. The trip takes approximately 12 hours. Since this is a new service that begins in 2003, there may be some variation in the starting date and trip duration. Keep an eye out for whales, seabirds and icebergs on this trip. Reservations are recommended. >From Cartwright a new gravel road heads south, first through the interior and then along the coast south of Charlottetown. The main road is Route 510, and there are side trips possible to Charlottetown on Route 514, and St. Lewis on Route 515. See the Coastal Labrador Drive for details of the area between Cartwright and Blanc Sablon.

Hi to all. Well here is some news for everyone. We have started to verify the posted material in the 1921 census. It is not going to be an overnight job but we are starting to work our way through it. The Burgeo and LaPoile District was finished Yesterday and posted last night. The new files have been verified back to the original handwritten pages and any necessary corrections have been made to these communities. You will find spellings, ages, relationships as they are on the original pages except that some of the abbreviations for some of the months. Other than these, all of the entries should reflect the original page handwritten entry. The other item that is not exactly as on the original page is that we have typed in the correct entry rather than use the many multiple ditto marks to save on confusion as to what they refer back to. We have added into the new pages, the Dwelling and Family numbers plus inserting the page number to show the original page the information came from. Go through the menu system on the site to get to the new files. If you use Google, you may get the old unverified version of the files. Using the Recent menu should also get you to the right place. Your "Favorites" and/or "Bookmarks" will need to be updated or refreshed to access these files. The policy of the Newfoundland's Grand Bank Site is to post all material in the same manner as the original publication This to include any spelling or other errors that may have been made in the original publication. If there is a need to provide another opinion as to what the enumerator wrote, there will be a way of taking care of this. Any requests for corrections to the 1921 census (Or any of the Business Directories) from now on will be verified back to the original page to assure that the posted information is the same as found on the original page. We also posted the entire Sharp's Business Directory of 1885/86 yesterday as well. It covers the City of St. John's, Carbonear and Harbour Grace. Mary Rawlinson and her group of transcribers have finished this one and it is available now for all to use. You will find it along with the rest of the Business Directories. Some other recently added items are: A number of Obits which have been posted. See the "Recent" button at the bottom of any page to see newly posted Obits. St. Brendan's Marriages (1890-1990) for the Bonavista District area. Trinity St. Paul's Anglican Church has more Marriage records posted. (1857 - 1859) Twillingate Marriages from 1853 to 1870 for the Twillingate District. Low Point Cemetery in the Bay de Verde District has been added to the Cemetery Transcriptions. Some new 1836 census files for Herring Neck, Beaver Cove, Dog Bay, Hare Bay and Seldom Come By A lot of new headstone photos have been added to different cemeteries. Check the Recent List for the Month of August 2003 for these additions. Fishing Rooms for 1806 for Farmer's Arm - Twillingate District Another new item - The Submarine Miner for January, September, and December of 1955 have been posted. Also November and December of 1956. Along with January and November 1957 and February and March of 1958. These can be found in the Newspaper Transcriptions.

I'm not sure if I have been unsubscribed for the past few months or is it just that no one is doing much searching during the wonderful weather? Shirley Thompson

Dear fellow listers, A few days ago during a visit to the home of a distant relative (by marriage) now living in B.C. I made some notes from two undated newspaper clippings which recorded the passing of Mrs. Thomas Bowering, at the age of 39 years, of Country Road, CB, NL on November 23rd....She was the aunt of a man who was born in the year 1917. In order to add to the information already collected about this family line of NL, I am asking for your help to determine the birth date of Mrs. Bowering, ( nee ***Emma Richards daughter of Thomas Richards Bareneed). The two small clippings were found in a envelope (unstamped and undated) which was addressed to a Miss Jennie Dawe (born at Bareneed, NL and d.1948) of 13 Byron Street, Bradford, Mass. Here is information taken from the clippings. �Mr. Thomas Bowering of Country Road desires to thank those who sent wreaths to adorn the coffin of his dear wife and those who assisted during the time of her illness...
