I first became interested in Family History in January 2000 when I decided to 
search for my great grandfather Eric Lionel Armstrong.  Eric, who has 
fascinated me since I was a child, left his wife Lydia and eldest daughter 
Ella, my grandmother, and went to live and work in Canada.  Eric left 
Liverpool on 7th March 1912.  Initially, he settled in Stellarton, Nova 
Scotia - a mining community.  When his youngest daughter Amy was sent to join
Eric in November 1912, he was living in Minto, New Brunswick.  In 2006 I
discovered that Amy, a spinster, died in 1983 in Victoria, British Colombia. 
After searching for Eric for over seven years - this year (2007), I've finally
discovered, and spoken to, my Canadian Cousin Maureen who lives in Ontario. 
Many thanks to Heather from Sault Ste, Marie, Ontario, who made this possible
and helped me to trace Maureen.

I would also like to express my sincere thanks to several distant cousins who 
have been kind enough to allow me to include their family photographs on this 
website.  On my Dad's side of the family - Norman Hinge, Eileen Cantrell, Derek
Phillips and Colin Hobbs have all been very helpful and on my Mother's side Ann
& Graham Yeldon, Roy Peacock and Gladys Church (decd) who were all equally very 
generous.  Thank you.
