Welcome to my blog ! I've been doing genealogy for about 25 years. I caught the bug from my brother and when he passed, I happily took over. Somewhere along the way I added my husband's family to the search. One commonality for both our families is Nova Scotia where they all ended up or passed through. Their names include Foster, Ede, Albro, Corbin, McCoubrey, Wells, Inglis, Stewart, and MacPherson... to name a few.
