Out of interest. Are you descended from Thomas Emond and Mary Anderson or Sarah Emond and George Anderson?

Hi Silaswall, my relatives are descended from George and Sarah.

[silaswall]

Thank you. Just curious. I am descended from James Emond and Thomasina Montgomery. So, am still in the UK! We are connected from Robert Emond and Margaret Renwick.

That is what I have. Thomasina died in Selkirk. Have death certificate. Robert being my 2Xgrt grandfather. I saw a photograph of Sarah on Mundia. Looks like one of my grt grandmother in old age. Would you like to see it? 

Before it was possible to  use the internet my late mother corresponded with a lady from Lalor. Would she be connected to you?

Hi again Silaswall, thanks for the offer if its the one of Sarah Emond in her garden with her cat on her lap that would have come from me 

I am not sure who lives in lalor in Victoria,  i may know their name or nickname if you said it, however there is a few people around that area that i have come across that are researching Emond and Anderson including some of my family members.

You wouldn't have any pics of the Emonds or even the houses or anything from selkirk?

I have pin pointed where they lived i am pretty sure from a map of the town, there are 2 Robert Emonds listed and one George, the 2 roberts houses are between the park/green and market square on water row.

I have a map and have looked on google earth and have seen that there are two old buildings standing on those spots, not sure if they are from that time and therefore where they lived though. i am guessing they are but not certain.

cheers
