Introduction

The purpose of this blog is to help people researching their ancestry in Carleton and Lanark Counties, Ontario, Canada. I help others with their research and in so doing have come across a lot of information that would most likely be of interest to others as well. Once I figure how to upload information from my computer, you should find this site very interesting. Topics you should find here soon: The Nile Voyageurs (index of men who left from Ottawa to help the British in Khartoum in 1884; list of men whom Ruggles Wright recruited from England in 1816; List of people who attended Ottawa Collegiate Institute; list of research books I own, and can do look-ups for people etc.; and lots and lots of other interesting stuff. One of my many hobbies is indexing books that were created without an index. Books printed long ago often did not have an index but yet are full of surnames. I have taken on this task somewhat, and will publish those indexes here as I finish them.
So check back here later to see what I have put up. Let me go now and figure out how to upload data. Thank you. Karen
