"A Facon du Pays" means "A woman of the land"! |
Just an old man with lots to declare. I had to research my Residential School experience to bury the hurt at Fort Marion, St. Augustine, Florida. Next I had to research my family history which was hidden from me. My ancestor had 84 forts throughout Canada & helped build Canada with the Northwest Company & amalgamated with the Hudson Bay Company in 1821 becoming a shareholder.

My birthday March 1st is the same as the Twins - Simon & Joseph.
It blew me away when I first found out the coincidence of our birthdays. I took it as significant that I had a job ahead. I have been downtown Montreal where Christ Church was but never had thought to investigate the Church records there. It was just a special connection to be in the same building where Joseph had been Christened. I thought it would be easy finding Joseph's gravesite when we went up Mount Royal Cemetary but I did not have enough time like most of my short visits. It's like boot hill overflowing there. Had to settle with enjoying the view over the city towards the Olympic Building.
