Hello Doris

Delighted to hear from you. I have sent two private messages - one on Thursday and one today. On the Home page of Rootschat if you click on the "you have x messages" at the top right hand part of the page you should be able to see them. If you have any problem just post on here again and I'm sure some more experienced Rootschatter than I can help.

My grandfather was Walter Edwards and I look forward to exchanging family news with you.

Best wishes, Fairlane

Fairlane,

Have I made a connection?  Please understand I am an old but "young old" senior.  I have just joined this Site and saw Springfield House and the mention of Louisa Humpherson.  I was more than excited and to be truthful, I didn't have a clue who I was contacting. 

Louisa and my grandmother, Julia are sisters.  My grandmother, Julia (Humpherson) Leese worked as a young woman at "Springfield House" when it was a school for girls.  Granny was house-mother.  Granny Leese was married in  1896 so it would be prior to 1896.

I have heard from  Eileen, and possibly that is who I contacted first.

I will give you my e-mail if you would like the personal touch

Please use @ instead of (at) if mailing

Hi Doris,

I don't know if you will receive this reply to your post because you posted it in 2007.  I have just started researching my family and joined this group a couple of days ago.

Your grandmother Julia and my great grandmother Amelia Humpherson were sisters.  She married John Harris and their son Isaac Harris was my grandfather.  I remember when I was a child my mother mentioned that I had relatives in Nova Scotia but she didn't know any details.

I was excited to read the details of my ancestors lives in your posts.  What an amazing coincidence to find a branch of my family through the internet.  I look forward to reading more of your posts.

Best Wishes,

Jan

Hi Jan,

Loved to see your posting.  Will be in touch further.  My grandmother, Julia (Humpherson) Leese was a sister of Amelia (Humpherson) Harris.

Hi Jan,

I am a senior who resides in Nova Scotia.  I have been involved in genealogy for a goodly number of years.  I was excited when I read your posting.  I am not all that good at the computer.  I am wondering how we could get e-mails to one another.  I have found RootsChat very very helpful.  In fact I found a cousin who resides in Wales.  Her Great Grandmother Louisa is also a sister of Julia and Amelia.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Doris

Hi Doris,

I can send you my email address in a personal message, but I need to post 3 times on the board before I am allowed to do that.  Okay this is my second post.  One more to go.
