Myra Crook

We are sad to report that Myra (Allan) Crook has passed away at the age of 92. Myra was a cousin of Marilyn Adams, and they each shared a passion for History and Genealogy. Myra’s extensive research covered many families of Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. She was related to Weese, Allan, Haight, Salisbury, Brown, Adams, and numerous other families. Her meticulous preservation of family records and local history has been donated to our collection.

We are forever in her debt.

On the road with a tote bag

Rob Osborne was here last August/September researching his family. Rob received a complimentary 7th Town tote bag and agreed that in return he would take a picture of himself with it in Yellowknife and send it back.

Rob did not stop there — in all, the bag travelled 25,000 km!
5,000 k m from Ameliasburgh, PEC to Yellowknife, 4,000 km round trip from Yellowknife to Fort St James/Prince George, 15,600 km round trip from Riviera Maya to Yellowknife, and 400 km round trip from Yellowknife down the ice road.

We look forward to more photos and stories from Rob!
