Gail,
Thank you for including me in this week’s list. I visited all of the other blogs and stories you mention, and they are all quite wonderful. I also wanted to comment on YOUR last post about the Andrew McCormic map collection. It has value way beyond Vancouver, as the 1761 map you show as an example, show colonial America, and New Hampshire (my favorite topic) when it included the area now known as Vermont.
Glad you liked the map collection. Lots of interesting maps of North America.
Thanks for the mention this week, Gail. It’s been a banner genealogy week for me, not only in my research discoveries, but in discovering I get to come visit Montréal next spring! There are some Canadian ancestors who have been waiting for me to find them…
Gail, belated thanks for including one of my blog posts in your Creme de la Creme. Very honoured!
