For my wonderful grandchildren, nieces and nephews--


This is an on-going project in the spirit of continuing where our mother left off and honoring her goal of figuring out how we are related to Robert the Bruce. She knew there were stories but could never make the connection.


For what it's worth--here it is. It was like untangling a ball of yarn. Finally, it all came together.


I'm hoping to do this with others of our ancestors and will continue to try to make this as navigable and as interesting as possible!

btw most of the copy comes from Mom's book.



And thank Uncle Michael for scanning all Mom's pictures!

ps this picture is where the Elizabeth was grounded and broke apart on the north shore of PEI.


pps don't even try to read this on your cellphone. it won't work!


ppps i know i know that there are many more pictures of fathers than there are of daughters. WE have come a long way . . .


pppps i'll keep cleaning this up.

ppppps I know in some cases, these dates need addressing. Will do soon.
