Canada calling...........

How it started......... A friend mentioned that a lot of people, from Canada in particular, who had an historical background with the area, were often trying to obtain awkward to get, info on the area generally. Fair enough I thought, hence the Canadian flag fluttering away on the homepage with a title of 'This site is Canadian friendly'.....!! Then the e-mails started arriving, first one or two but then dozens. We then started checking through various bits and pieces and various sites and sources and realised that there isn't just a few. To be very conservative about it, a quick calculated guess is around 100,000 minimum in Canada and maybe up to 250,000 people including Australia, S. Africa, USA and NZ, originate just from this area alone! A few searches were run and there were literally 200+, just within that search pattern alone, all trying to not only trace relatives past (and possibly present) but just to know the place their family came from. In a short space of time there are now 32 individuals/families/groups in regular contact with us. Some finding details of their 'roots', some just chatting getting the feel of the place, 2 couples planning a visit this year collecting info on where to stay and visit. A few who have contacted us have also shown a rather dark side to those that 'emigrated to the new world' see BHC. All are welcome and many thanks, on their behalf to the many groups and individuals here who help us with the information they are requesting.   BHC....read this   Lesley Huppert, Ontario   Petworth Emigration Project
