A New Collaboration 

Family


It’s not often that when you arrange to meet someone for the first time that you choose to do it in a cemetery but it seemed appropriate to meet Vivian at Calvary. We’d known of her for years and had corresponded a bit through Ancestry.com. We knew she shares an interest in genealogy and that she shares DNA with Steve through two ancestral lines. Together we located the final resting place of her Great Great Grandparents/Steve’s Great Aunt Mary and Uncle Fred. We continued the visit at a local bookstore cafe and are now looking forward to future visits and perhaps planning a family reunion together!

OUR VERY

LATEST

Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
