Lideway, I have no problem with you sharing either story. Once things like that get posted on the internet they are pretty public. I'm not sure you know this or not much of the coast Eastern Canada was settled through land grants from the King of England. Large land grants were given to people who would move to Canada. Australia was settled by England sending prisioners there. It's interesting history.

Alicia, I'm fine with either name! LOL The very sad thing about interracial history especially in the USA was no one wanted anyone to know about. Interestingly, one of the sons of my great great great grandfather married a native woman in the mid west USA close to Canadian border, not sure where because I don't have the history with me, however the record indicated she died in childbirth and he returned to Eastern Canada. So how the would be recorded must have been through written/verba history. Many times these things were recorded in the Famliy Bible or a diary that was passed down through the generations. I've been blessed to have written history that goes back to the early 20th century, written by my grandmother, and that is now 5 generations! My mother gave it to me when I was cleaning out her place a few years ago when she moved into a Senior apt. She has died and so now I am the 'keeper' of the family  written by my grandmother. Someone has to see the value of it for this 'stuff' to be kept. It is often tossed as trash. I've always loved history.
