Well I'm chuffed to have got that one, but failing getting a map out I'm screwed for the others. Hell i struggle to remember street names in my own town! :dozey:Quote:

Yes...my Great Great Grandfather came to Canada in 1867, the founding year of the Dominion of Canada. He settled in Forester's Falls Ontario, which is near What body of water where a significant tourist activity occurs? I will take THAT as answer as well. The other bonus question to take over is what was the Province of Ontario's name BEFORE it was Ontario?Quote:

Foresters Falls is not all that far from Calagbogie Race track or Ottawa but I expect the body of water is the Ottawa River. Possibly White Water Rafting in that part of the Ottawa river in Upper Canada.
I knew Drifter would get it, so I will let him have it. The Irish Question, I will answer also since my timing was off and I realize most of you in the UK and Europe were in bed when I asked it is: The three counties that are part of what was thought of as Ulster, but broke with the rest of the south to become Eire is Donegal, Cavan and Mongahan. My wife's family goes back to Cavan, and my father's family originated in Donegal and County Tyrone.Quote:
