Let me introduce myself

I've heard it said that Genealogy is where you confuse the dead and irritate the living. Since my family is tired of being irritated, I thought I might engage some of you out there instead. I've been working on tracing my family and that of my husband for a few years now.

My family reaches back to Scotland from Nova Scotia and includes names like Inglis, Stewart, MacDonald, McLaren, MacPherson and McLean to name a few. My husband's family is a bit more diverse. Some of them are Loyalists (Albro, Foster, Edes) while others made a stop in Newfoundland (McCoubrey, Corbin) on their way from England, Scotland and Wales (Wells).

I will be using this blog to share tips, solicit ideas and maybe just share some of the cool things I've found through my searching. If you have any comments or ideas, I'd be happy to hear them.
