Hi my name is Tammy. I live in Edmonton, Canada. This is my first mailing list. I found this site by searching the Orkney via the web! I have been searching my family tree and this is what lead me to the Orkney sites. I have a great interest in the Orkney history, heritage and the way of life there. I would be happy to hear from you all. Cheers Tammy

HI TAMMY: GREAT, ANOTHER CANADIAN EH?! I AM IN CENTRAL CANADA, AND LIKE YOURSELF FOUND THIS SITE BY DOGGED DETERMINATION TO UNEARTH FAMILY ROOTS. YOU WILL FIND THE EXPERIENCE VERY ENJOYABLE, AS THIS CANORKY DOES. (THAT IS A NEW NOUN, DESCRIBING THOSE PERSONS LIKE US WHO ARE DESCENDED FROM ORKNEY AND LANDED IN CANADA. ) CONGRATULATIONS ON THE GREY CUP VICTORY. LOVE THOSE ESKIMOS! BY THE WAY, IF YOU FEEL INCLINED TO LET THE CHATLINE KNOW YOUR LAST NAME, YOU WILL FIND THAT THESE FOLKS CAN STEER YOU TO ALL SORTS OF RESEARCH TOOLS AND IN SOME CASES, I ACTUALLY COULD IDENTIFY THEIR FAMILIES IN OUR OLD TREE. BY THE WAY, THE HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY HAS TONS OF INFORMATION ON THEIR LARGE NUMBER OF ORKNEYMEN WHO OPENED UP THE CANADIAN NORTH-WEST. BEST OF LUCK:.............STEPHEN On Sunday, November 16, 2003, at 11:15 PM, Tammy wrote: > Hi my name is Tammy. I live in Edmonton, Canada. This is my first > mailing list.
