The Family Tree

I was asked recently to help a friend document the original settlement of her family that came to this area from Nova Scotia



She had found the general area and with my camera in hand we went looking for the exact spot. You see there was a lone apple tree on the land and that was the most important thing for us to find. Could it still be there after all of these years?
















Well, we not only found the tree but also the foundation of the original house and what looked like the road which once went infront of the house.

It was quite a find. My images were sent back to Nova Scotia where I'm sure they are in a fine glass case in the town's historical society ... or maybe they ended up on the refrigerator... HA!
