“Hi Janet,
On behalf of the Curtin Family and everyone else in your article, Thank-you so much!!
You did a great job putting all that together. Short and to the point.
Take Care.”

“I have lived in this area for twenty three years. My great grandparents are buried in the Catholic cemetery in Kinmount Ont. I have visited their graves over the years wondering where they were born, who are my ancestors? Luckily, through a cousin of mine I contacted Janice Stange. She is a volunteer at the Kinmount Heritage Centre with the Greater Harvey Historical Society. Barb Cain and the society have welcomed me with open arms. They are researching my ancestry for me. I will eventually be presented with a book. My maternal and fraternal ancestors’ history will be combined. What a wonderful book I will have for my family. The ladies that I have met at the meetings are so kind and helpful. They are helping to solve my queries about my ancestors.”
