    Hi Kim … yep, I think I sorta figured out the answer.

    (Thanks everyone for the responses, and Crystal, I tend to agree – some of the free online NL stuff is some of the best = most useful) that I have found.

    Kim, the my Janes and Pynns are not related to each other. Dad’s mom was a Pynn, Mom’s dad was a Janes. My Pynn’s are one of the better documented branches I have – they’ve been in Harbour Grace for a looonnngg time (16-1700’s). The Janes, not so much. My maternal grandfather settled in Grand Falls, so I have a lot of relatives there, but he came from Random Island (Petley or Britannia). I suspect his family at some point had roots across Trinity Bay, in Hants Harbour, but I have not found anything definitive.

    How about you … your Janes and Pynns?

    Hi Mary 🙂 Yes, this helps … at the very least, it tells me that I can’t consider its usefulness a given. Coincidentally, a friend started a subscription today after hearing me droning on incessantly at work, about family research 🙂 He’s letting me use his account for a few days to see for myself. I haven’t had much time to fiddle with it just yet.

    I’m assuming you are aware of some of the online NL genealogy resources like http://ngb.chebucto.org/

    Just out of curiosity, what families are you researching her in NL?

    And thanks again for the response 🙂

    Rob
