With tongue in cheek, being a descendant, I'll have to write that down so I remember. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08675700387918750441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1747741777692784688.post-56217395268406546872013-01-10T18:00:46.202-05:002013-01-10T18:00:46.202-05:00It is very easy to find.

I never heard about Robert before and found out that he is my 3 times great grandfather and Abel is my great great grandpa. This is the only photo I've found relating to the family. I'm only in Toronto. Looks like I need to make a little trip to Hamilton :)Jennifer Johnsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1747741777692784688.post-54268372830652560432012-05-30T16:48:04.701-04:002012-05-30T16:48:04.701-04:00Interesting!

...I agree with Deb. The noise would do my head in!<br /><br />That is a remarkable thing, to be reunited after 11 years. I hope they were all pleased!<br /><br />What I particularly like about the vault is its modesty. I guess that is one of the things that such a struggle teaches one: self-worth rather than self-esteem.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1747741777692784688.post-44034747716071499832012-05-29T12:29:49.826-04:002012-05-29T12:29:49.826-04:00Interesting story and an impressive family memoria...Interesting story and an impressive family memorial.
