I appreciated your comments Darlina. It is refreshing to hear from a positive person who gets on with the job. I get so tired of the negative people who whine over every bump in the road of life. Keep up your good work and excellent attitude.
I visited a cememtery that sits alongside the Red River between Minnesota and North Dakota. Even though it lies at least twenty feet above the normal water level it was flooded last spring. The current carried in silt and any grave marker that lay…
Cindy, most computers have a photo program on it when you buy them. You have to move your photos into the photo program. You should be able to do that after you open the photo program. Look for an icon that allows you to import your photos from the…
Comments for Cindy. Keep in mind that when you take a photo for a memorial it is not just a photo but a source of the text on the memorial or grave marker. I take a photo of the entire grave stone but then take one or two close-up to make sure all…
I want to thank you for your hospitality when I visited you at Lake Bronson last month. My visit at the Kittson County Historical Museum, and with you and Cindy Adams, was a highlight of my recent travels back to my home ground. You should be proud…
Hi Ed - hope you had a safe journey home. I have been reviewing your CD on your family genealogy. Very impressive and a great job. I found a couple more Jerome graves at a small cemetery north of Pembina. More later.
After reading the most recents posts I was reminded of a number of events that have occured to me but it is difficult to label them coincidence or intuition.
It involved having a problem I was unable to solve. Some times it related to friends,…
I didn't pay - I do remember that. So probably wrote the editor it has been a while since I did this. Helped me out thought a lot - hope it works as well for you.

Barbara, thanks for the reply. It was so long ago I forget the question. I'm kidding!
First of all I have no connection SCOTT vs BRUCE but I will make a note to watch for one. Second, I have looked at the southernreporter and appreicate the…
Hi Glenn, One of the things you might try is posting an article in the Southern
Reporter newspaper in Selkirk . Just tell them you are looking for your family and give them some of your genealogy. I had done this before and had gotten
only one…
Thanks Glenn, I thought that is what I did. I did put some space between the comments and the code so maybe I accidently removed some of the code in the process. I see I got the photo up with out comments so next time, I will be more careful.
Michael, When I wish to post a photo and some comments I can type in the comments first and then I add the photo. The photo will take a few moments to appear in the box and it comes in as a code. Once you see the photo code and your comments all in…
I want to thank you for your hospitality when I visited you at Lake Bronson last month. My visit at the Kittson County Historical Museum, and with you and Cindy Adams, was a highlight of my recent travels back to my home ground. You should be proud of the genealogical work you have done and of what is available now for research at the museum. It is an excellent contribution to those of us interested in learning and preserving our family histories. Thank you!

Yes, the Norman Hotel is gone, and in its place is a huge monstrosity of an apartment building. While it has changed and developed along the highway, the heart of Norman remains much the same. I don't see Bruce Vaudry in the phone book, so perhaps you are right. The name certainly rings a bell, but I haven't heard it for a long time.
Thank you for getting in touch, Glenn! I drive through Norman every day on my way to work.
My Scotts were, according to my historian great-aunt, from Fife. My own research indicates that they were more likely from Wilton parish area in Roxburgh. James Scott m. Janet Bleakie in 1822 (I have not found records to confirm this, nor do I know where they were married). The couple emigrated to Burnbrae, ON in 1834 with two children (I have not yet found their birth info).
