My name is Sean. I’ve been an amateur genealogist since I was eight years old. However, I did not become more serious about it until I was in my twenties. If you found this obscure little blog, it’s likely that you, like me, are an avid genealogist. Otherwise, you’ve stumbled upon a little personal project, which I primarily created as a means of participating in Amy Johnson Crow’s 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks.

I created this blog to share the continuing journey of researching my family's history. I feel that their individual stories reflect the story of the European settlement of Canada on a human level. My aim is also to further my genealogy research through collaboration. I gratefully acknowledge the people who have helped me along the way, and wish to share what I have learned in return.

My name is Kathie Ross, our website involves the family history of both my husband and myself. Ancestors come from Norway, Sweden, England, Scotland and Ireland (and more). Information includes individual ancestor histories, family history info that has been discovered and a full genealogy tree that is always being updated. Family history and genealogy are a passion. Feel free to check out the site and explore our family history.

I have been researching my family history since 1980 and was a member of the now-defunct Qualicum Beach Family History Society, serving as their Librarian for a number of years. On Family Photo Reunion I research the family photographs and documents I find in thrift stores and antique shops, in the hope of finding them a new home. I published my first Family Photo Reunion post on Blogger in 2011. Since then, I have reunited over 300 images, documents, bibles and other artifacts of genealogical value. In October 2025, I moved the blog (including 290+ blog posts) to Substack. I hope you will join me there, maybe you'll find your family!

The 929 Bookcase is where you'll find book reviews about genealogy-related books, both new and old. And, if you're the author of a genealogy guidebook or text, I'd love to review your book, too. Currently, I do not review genealogies. 
I have written reviews for Quill & Quire, School Library Journal and other reviewing publications.

Colin Stevens’s website covers a vast amount of military and police information. He includes his genealogical research for his personal family. He also has militaria items for sale.

Family history and genealogy research on both my ancestors & my ex-husband's ancestors, with personal memories, family photographs, old maps, and more. Ancestors from Northern Ireland, Northern England, Midlands England, Germany, and the Netherlands: all immigrants to North America, from very early 1600s onwards. Pilgrims to Palatines, finding my roots is a big adventure!

For me, genealogy is about the stories: the ones we heard growing up, and the ones we find through research. The stories that resonate the most for me are those that have largely been forgotten or overlooked by history.
