I met Catherine O'Hara at a party in 1986. We chatted for a bit and went our separate ways. A couple hours later I hear "Ron, Ron". I turn around and it was Catherine calling me to chat some more. She had remembered my name! I will never forget her, such a wonderful person! RIP Catherine.

A very kind gentleman from Derbyshire emailed me to ask if I had any interest in a sampler he's had on his kitchen wall for 30 years. Turns out it made by my 3rd great aunt! She died 4 years after creating this, at age 16. So nice of him reach out and send a photo!

Sadly, I've just learned that my father's lifelong friend Garth Hudson has passed away at 87 years of age. They were high school friends and played together in a high school band. They would get together whenever possible. Very sad news.

A Christmas card from my 2nd great grandmother, Helen Jane Milroy (nee: Revel) (1860-1943). Not sure of the year.

I've discovered a connection to Australian Supermodel Nicole Trunfio! Nicole's aunt and her 1st cousins are also my DNA cousins.

In my tree I had a Donald Malarkey. I didn't know who he was until a DNA match showed up. Proud to find out he's one of the 'Band of Brothers' soldiers. He has a Canadian connection to my maternal side, a 5C2R. And yes, I proudly watched the series.

I was about 25 when the show started. There was a large custom black metal box about 2'x2'x2' with 7 computers (+1 spare) and one used as s controller. I have the original H/W docs which goes over startup process & how it all works. It's hard to remember after 37 yrs.

Little known fact, for the game show "Bumper Stumpers" eight Commodore 64s were used to control the monitors and display the license plates. I know because I ran them 🙂

Found the negative for this photo in an old envelope. Not sure of the year but my mother is the girl in the middle with her two sisters. Sadly we lost my mother in 2022. #oldphoto #familyhistory #genealogy #photography

House stuck on Roblin, Wpg. It didn't fit so they started cutting city trees down. BIG fines per tree. I counted 10 so far. Police shut them down for now.

Watched #OutlawKing on Netflix after discovering 5 cousins involved in the making of. I really like the photo below of Director David Mackenzie (Cousin). I enjoyed the movie especially the performance of @Florence_Pugh and the family of course.@almackenzie

DNA Discovery - siblings Nathaniel and Louisa Krause. Nathaniel is an editor, director and Louisa an actress. 3 DNA matches (so far) with common cousins led me to discovering our connection. @NathanielKrause @LouNkrause

I've managed to locate an autographed photo of UK actor Edward Smith Willard (1853-1915) a 1st cousin 4 times removed. A friend of Bram Stoker, Sir Henry Irving, J M Barrie and even Oscar Wild wrote him a letter. A new family heirloom! @AncestryUK @WDYTYA_UK

I always thought this was an interesting find. This unusual 1891 UK census entry for Ronald Doulton of Royal Doulton fame. My great grandfathers best friend and the origin of my name. Look closely at the "Married" column. 😂 @AncestryUK @wdytyamagazine
