Testimonials
"I am just digging into the report now. I cannot believe you found that Land Transport Abstract! I have been looking for years to try to find some record of immigration for Thomas and would have never in a million years even thought of this or had the skills to do it. I am so grateful to you! Plus I love all the historical context. This will give me months of reading to enjoy (about the Canada Company, Huron Tract, Irish immigration to Canada during famine, etc., etc., etc.) I actually have a photo of Archibald McCloy and his family - but before this, never knew a thing about him! I have not had time to look into this photo to be sure it is him yet - I never was very interested - but now I am!!! I will attach it here because I thought you might be interested after all the hours of work you have spent on these folks. THANK YOU! :)"
