Hi Lori-Ann; Thank you so very much for your relentless hours in helping people like me search and find our ancestors. I remember many late nights last winter feeling all alone searching different Archives for a glance of info. pertaining to any of my Ancestors, being a newbie and all, but as soon as you saw my message asking for advice and help, you were there to help rescue me it seemed. You lead me through step by step, what a team leader!! You also were there for anyone at any hour after your hard days work and caring for your daughter's needs, you were always there to help us all. Many thanks again for your kind efforts and just being there.

Hi Evelyn, Thank you for the kind words. It isn't just me though, it's the majority of the entire list and how we all work together. I am thankful to help others as it is a sort of reward for those on this list that have helped me along the way. I wouldn't have been anywhere either if people hadn't of helped me. I just remember being new to this and feeling like a complete fish out of water..hehe....not realizing then just how much the Fishing/Sealing Industries played such a vital role in my ancestors!!!!! Once again, thank you very much. Keep hunting and keep up the faith...
