I am originally from Dorset, South of England, hence my username here. I am building my family tree and now at a point where I need to explore my Canadian connections. In particular NF and the Grand Banks area. Many years ago a Great Aunt of mine told me of a family member who once his time was completed in the British Navy, Left Bristol UK and headed to NF to marry a girl he had fallen for. This would probably be late 18th to early 19th centuries. Sadly at 17 years old my head was full of fast motorcycles and girls with almost zero retention past that.
More details to follow once this initial post is accepted.
