What ever happened to outfutureourpast.ca? You could look up all the family books published. I found photos of my family and found photos of other peoples family. One young girl said her and her mum cried when I sent them a copy of her great great grandparents. They did not know what they looked like?

I am sorry but this site does not have the books that they used to have. They had all immigrants from the British empire detailing from where they came from, photos of their time in Canada, plots of land they had on arriving, the hard times they had etc  and there is nothing on this site. There were many books which now seem to have been lost.

Go back click show more they are in there.  Its just a harder site to navigate now and the indexing isn't the same.

I have just tried the book by David C Jones "We'll are be buried down here" Drought 1917-1926. All I got was paper reports with highlighted bits like David or buried. Ourfutureourpast.ca was brilliant. You could read page after page of families. I did not know my young cousin was buried on the farmland, as there was no where else. How hard it was for everyone during that time with emancipated live stock and food shortages. There were many books similar to this of photos and stories. So easy to navigate. Where are they?

How would I have known about my cousin without ourfutureourpast.ca like this for instance? Or The Bradleys who's relatives in England probably do not know the following pages exist?

The book you referenced by David C Jones is there in its entirety.  Go to the Advanced Search option and put in the title of the book and you can read it all.
