About Me
- Cynthia Shenette
- A long-time librarian, I am mostly of Polish, Acadian, and French-Canadian descent. I have started this blog to share and acquire genealogical knowledge, achieve inner peace, and perhaps realize my ultimate quest, to find two ancestors with the same surname who actually spelled their surnames exactly the same way...

Thank you so much for mentioning the Denholms book. I really appreciate it!
Best to you,
Christopher
Christopher - You are very welcome! I love your book. It would make a great Christmas gift! My most vivid Denholms memory is of getting stuck in the revolving door as a little kid, and Denholms was THE place to go to see Santa and the Easter Bunny!
