The story of how our grandparents came to Canada begins with the story of a ship, the SS. Mount Temple. This is the ship they came to Canada on. If you go to the following website you will get an idea of the importance this ship played in our story.
If you go to the following site you will see the testimony given to the inquiry into why Captain James H. Moore could not get to the Titanic in order to help save passengers. The Titanic sank April 14, 1911. Our grandparents arrived on the Mount Temple on March 8th, 1911. Coincidence?????
You may be wondering how all the information in the generations pages were compiled and controled. Good question. Marc and I both use the same genealogy program that helps us to generate reports, both ancestral and descendant. The program is called Brothers Keeper for Windows Version 6. If you go to "Ed's Interests" on my opening page you will see where you can download the program yourselves .You may order the registered program with the manual for $45.00 US.
Once you have the program all you need is a gedcom file of all the information that we have in our database. I can provide you with the gedcom file for a minimal cost (less than $20.00) subject to change without notice.
An interesting feature of this program is finding out how you are related to someone else in the database. In other words how are you related to me for example. Give me a call and I will gladly run a check on any relationship you are interested in. YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED.
Currently the database contains the names of: 14004 people consisting of 4856 families.
