I absolutely LOVE this Maritha. Your grandmother is very beautiful. This is one of the most appealing layouts I have seen on here so far. It is very simple and very elegant. Kudos!!
These are great Katrina!! You do a great job of demonstrating that we can make some really beautiful pages with the smallest details of our ancestors' lives.
Hey Katrina...this may sound like a silly question, but with the standard size of a scrapbook being 12x12, is it possible to print out pages big enough to fit? Most printers won't print 12x12 will they?

Thank you so much William!!
William,
You mentioned something about a form from the National Archives for ordering service records from WWII. I was looking on their website, but couldn't find anything. Would you be able to direct me to it by any chance? Thanks!

Do you have an area of expertise in Canadian genealogy? Maybe you could offer tips and suggestions to those just starting out.
I'm currently researching the ancestors of Edward Pilgrim and his wife Amelia Paye, who came to Canada aboard the Southwark in 1907 and settled in Montreal.

Judy Palliser Angus said… - Thanks Robert. I haven't touched the Angus' family for some time now as I ran into a lot of dead ends. This is my husband's family and the first one I started researching once I retired and had the time to do the work. The original folks that came over with the Rutherglen Union Society (Lanark Society Settlers) were John Angus b. abt 1781 d. Dec. 11, 1859 and his wife Margaret Smith b. Mar 6, 1794 d. Aug. 15 1871. I was able to find a lot of information through the Perth Courier and books by Carol Bennett McCuaig. I have "Founding Families of Bromley Township" parts of "The Lanark Society Settlers" and "The Lanark Society Settlers: Ships' Lists of the Glasgow Emigration Society 1821" by Gerald J. Neville and would be willing to do lookups also. I also found the Lanark County Genealogical Society to be a very big help. The Canadian Gravemaker Gallery has also made a big difference. Parts of the Angus family are also found in Dalhousie, Lavant and Lanark Townships as well as, Renfrew where the one son, James moved to at an early age. There is another Angus, Andrew, who is thought to be a brother to John that married and moved to Pontiac County, Quebec. Unfortunately, none of your names fall within the names I have found in the Angus or the Irvine families.
