Hi Everyone (Sent by e-mail & added here in case you are not on our e-mail list!)
More web page updates on the St. Columban Site at www.stcolumban-irish.com
I thought that we would run out of things to add to our site. But au contraire, we just keep on getting more and more interesting information. Jeff Legault, has over the past week (working night and day) been adding tidbits, here and there, on the site and if you haven?t visited this week you may have missed them. You might have missed some of them even if you have visited the site!
So here is a fast overview of some of the additions:-
Under Researchers
In this area, we have added a little note about the discussion page. As well we have added the names of the families being researched under the researcher?s name. If I missed adding your family interest, please send me another e-mail with the details:- fergus@stcolumban-irish.com (or if you wanted your name added to the list)
Under Maps
In this area, thanks to Bill Weiler we have listed the names of the original settlers, the lot number and the year of purchase. We included the title Names and Lot numbers 1799 ? 1830. (There are few names missing since the records are not available at this time.)
Under Memories & Family Histories
a) We included some pictures from the St. Patrick?s Day Parade to add to the little video already posted
b) At the bottom of the page, we changed the title from Famous People to ?Successful and Well-Known? which we think better reflects these people. We have also added Dr. Cornelius Phelan to this list. ? (Interesting Man).
Under Published Articles
a) We have added the Ottawa Citizen article (we have permission to post this article for the next 6 months)
b) We also made a note about J.P. Leger?s Cemetery Book
c) We will add the information soon on ?Naming the Laurentians? by Joseph Graham - www.ballyhoo.ca/books
And watch for an announcement about Claude Bourguignon?s new updated St. Columban book coming soon!!! ? probably within the next few weeks
Under Photos:
In this area, Jeff has started to present the pictures in a new format. Click on the picture for additional details. Really neat !!!
In Gallery 8 ? we have added more Carroll-Kenna Pictures (thanks to Patrick Delaney) and it includes some interesting info. about John ?Jack? Carroll and his untimely death in Lachute.
In Gallery 9 ? We have added some new photos about the McLaughlin (Delaney & Casey) thanks to Anne McLaughlin
In Photo Identification, - We have added a new Mystery Photo that we hope to identify
Under Restoration
In the Donation area, we have raised the thermometer to $ 2500. (10% of our target) and acknowledge the new donors.
Under Grave Markers
We added some stuff with lots more interesting stuff to come thanks to Kelley !
Under Links
We added links to Morin Heights; Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery; and the Montreal Irish Radio Show
Under Discussion Forum
Here we have about 45 information posts and have now about 22 members. If you haven?t registered in this area, you should. Jeff has made it really easy to register with a section in red at the top of the page. It has a lot of bells and whistles ? you can check off to be informed by e-mail of a new post; you can send a message directly to another member in the Forum etc.. Just a quick note of inter-communications between two members ? if it has to do with family history please post it in the forum since the purpose is to share information and you never know when another member can offer helpful information.
So that?s it for now ? Unless Jeff?..I missed something!
