Email: I just got access to internet and found the guest book for Bell Island.   It is a fantastic way for former Bell Islanders as well as Bell Islanders living on Bell Island to keep in touch.  I have browsed through some of the E-mails received from fromer Bell Islanders whom I had not seen or heard from in years.  Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.  I had the wonderful opportunity of E-mailing a relative of my mind who is now residing in Nova Scotia and I had lost contact with for many years and through this opportunity I have gained access of his E-mail address and was able to make contact with him and today I received my first contact with him.  Thank you very much.

This is a great site. It gives me a way to show my 5 yr old the place her Nanny and Poppy King were born and raised and a look at her Newfoundland background. Great Job.
