This blog will reflect the progress of my genealogy project(s). I will describe any major changes that I make on my website www.fayewest.ca and I will document how I solved some brick walls.

Alan Scott Drummond

Jerry Sherard sent me an item from the BC Minister of Mines Annual Report for 1949 that briefly describes the mining accident that killed Alan Scott Drummond.  I've added the information to Alan's page on the Jones portion of the site.

Striker updates and Search feature

I've made a number of additions to the Stiker portion of the site.  These are mostly in the Venable and Bouker families.  I was recently contacted by a "new" third cousin, David Bouker, who has provided some information on his family. (Thanks Dave!)   The records that have been changed or added are listed on the Recent Updates page.

New Feature: You'll see a new Search item on the menu bar of all pages. This will allow you to search for names, dates, places, etc. It's a very fast way to get directly to the page you're interested in. (Click here to go directly to this new page.)

I've updated the Broder portion of the site.  The major changes are the addition of my new grand-niece Aubrie Elizabeth Doyle and the death of my 1st cousin twice removed Etta Williams (Mary Margaret Coulter).  There have been a number of other minor changes since the last publication on 16 Jan 2012.  You can see a list of the changed records on the Recent Updates page.

Doyle updates and a new feature

I have a new grand-niece!  Aubie Elizabeth Doyle was born last week.  So of coursse I had to update the site.  (Only the Doyle section so far, although she's a member of most other family sections too.)

This update also picked up some changes I've made over the past month.  I'm still working my way through the Ontario parish registers, another dozen or so have been added.   I've also added a few photos and made some minor corrections.  See the Recent Updates page for a list of records that have changed since the last publicaton (March 14).

New Feature:  You'll see a new Search item on the menu bar of all pages.  This will allow you to search for names, dates, places, etc.  It's a very fast way to get directly to the page you're interested in.    (Click here to go directly to this new page.)  

Search is only available on the Doyle portion of the website right now.  It will be added to all other sections as they are re-published.
