NORM:

Nelson Gerrard's name is

"NELSON S. GERRARD" (not Nelson N. Gerrard as I accidentally typed ... sorry for the error )

Here is a link http://www.isholf.is/halfdanh/vestur.htm
you might enjoy. It's another Historians site "Halfdan Helgason" ... from Iceland There is tons of stuff in there to find of interest including geneological stuff, Iclandic of course. Halfdan has some great photos in his site ... and a really neat newsletter too with a "Settler of the Week" section.

For Orkneys roots and history (of which I have too, like most people of generations from around here) I also visit this fun site sometimes ..... http://www.orkneyjar.com

I got your PM and will be sure to visit your site... thank you Norm. I'm looking forward to visiting you there

I'll send you some photos soon too ... Carman

JD: I wonder if I can ride the buffalo/bison like I used to ride the cows when I was a kid? (can't roller-skate!)The cows had good temperaments (sp?) I wonder about the B/B though? Yappy
