This site is a puddle of the gene pool. It showcases my ancestoral past in photographs. These people came to Canada from Scotland, Ireland and England to settle in large and small settlements - now larger and smaller and, occasionally, gone altogether. I was born in Newcastle, N.B. - you won't find it on a modern map, but it is there in stories and memory. This blog is one of those places. It is populated by stories waiting to be told.

This photo, taken in about 1901 in Saskatoon most likely, as the family lived in Dundurn, is of the Potter sisters Mary Jessica (9), Elizabeth Lane (Lillian, 18) and Doreetha Grace (Gracie, 5). I have added the colour and accept the blame - although I prefer the added life it lends this rather formal portrait.
