A Bit Of Background

Hubby's Family

When we get to Canada, hubby will be following in his ancestors footsteps because his Hillary and Jones families emigrated to B.C. around a hundred years ago.

This is a view of the Jones house on Jane street, Port Moody about 1920.

His grandparents and close relatives settled in the area Port Moody, Vancouver.
Some of hubby's relatives (Hi Betty) are still in British Columbia, and we are looking forward to meeting them.

This is Robert E Jones and family outside the house he built which is shown on the other picture.Jane Street Port Moody Vancouver BC

My Family
All my own relatives in North America live in the USA, in New York, New Jersey and Florida, so hopefully we will get to meet up with them again, even though we already visit them regularly.

Here is a picture of me near the 231st subway station on the elevated section of the 1 and 9 train route in the Bronx New York.



This is a picture of hubby on the balcony of my cousin Paddy's apartment in Yonkers, a lovely area near St Vincents College on Riverdale avenue.
