Belfast to Canada
« on: Saturday 15 November 08 14:02 UTC (UK) »
Over time, with tremendous help from RootsChatters, I was able to find many of my Grandmother's family.

As a young woman she came to Canada, but we knew little of her story.  She travelled on the first voyage of the Empress of Ireland. 

I recently linked that information with the story of that great ship in an article.  Here is the link.

That was a great discovery, family ancestry never ceases to amaze does it? Smiley

So true.  I'd say that serendipity has a lot to do with success in our searches.

Proof of that for me is the way that I 'found' RootsChat.
