 Thankyou Lockzie for the wonderful ballad.  Wouldn't be my gr gr grandfather for he escaped the water only to freeze later that cold night....on land.  But what a wonderful little piece of history anyway.  And with all the Williams in my tree I'm keeping hold of this ballad for there may be a connection one day.

Alan,  thanks so much for all your work on the Ashkirk MI's.  Wonderful news that you are working on them.

Alan, I'm sure you know of this resource but I just stumbled across it today and thought of you.  There are links to photos and a manuscript about the Ashkirk cemetery that you can click on too.

I have learned that a small book was published titled "A History of Ashkirk, 1790-1990"  I'd love to get my hands on a copy if anyone can find me one.
