Greetings, my family and I will be visiting your beautiful province this summer. I will be stopping in, or near St. John's for a couple of days.

I would like to do some research for my family tree. Could you please tell me what information would be most beneficial to have regarding such a search? I have some dates, names, etc. I would like to utilize my time wisely while I am there. I have no documentations, which is really what I am looking for. I want to prove what I have down.

I am John Fitzgerald, son of John Joseph Fitzgerald and Rita (Ethridge), from Harbour Grace. I believe they lived on the front (of Bell Island). My dad was the son of Peter and Ann (Kennedy). Peter was the son of John.

If you can help with this please contact me. We are heading East in a couple of weeks.

I appreciate your help in this matter.

This is a very good site, very well done, however I don't see anything about a
very well known figure from Bell Island, probably the best accordion player of
all times. "Harry Hibbs". Other than that, your web site is excellent.

Web Master's Reply

Hi there

Thanks for the feedback on the site. There was a very extensive section on the site about Harry It included every press article about him, a bio, pictures and some songs. However, with the release of the CBC Collection the Very Best of Harry Hibbs two years ago all the material was moved to harryhibbs.com. Unfortunately that site was taken off-line last year. I will investigate the possibility of posting it here again.
