My 3rd great grandfather immigrated from Devon to Newfoundland in 1813. He was a fisherman,owning two boats that fished the Grand Banks, as were his descendants until my grandfather.

He then moved to Toronto and became a machinist. My sister and a cousin are visiting Newfoundland next summer. I have enjoyed following your adventures in Newfoundland and the Maritime Provinces!
