After studying the photo of the young girl holding a violin that I mentioned earlier I have become convinced that it is my deceased sister Renee. However I am told there is a way of determining whether the person in two different photographs taken at different ages is the same person. I will see if I can find out more about the method.

In the meantime I am told that there is a similar picture of my oldest sister Mary at about the same age also with a violin. If any member of the family has seen it or knows where there is a copy, please let me know. (The violin is just a studio prop by the way).

For those who also share Fitzgerald ancestry, I have had a search done in both County Limerick and County Clare with negative results. I have managed to find a marriage and birth in Limerick which I think is very promising and I will continue to try and prove it.

There are presently nine past newsletters which were distributed to known family members over the past few years detailing research progress and general family news. Additional past newsletters will be added as time permits. Research is continuing on our Barnard branch.

Who Am I ?

My name is Alan Barnard and I was born and raised in Manchester, England. I started researching our Barnard Family in 1971 following the death of my parents who both died in 1970. Fortunately I was able to get enough information on them before their passing that enabled me to start my research.

Obviously Genealogy - or family history, is a major interest of mine, but I am also interested in astronomy, photography, all kinds of sports especially football (soccer), and with my wife Christine, I love to travel when we have the opportunity - and of course the money. Both Chris and I are very involved with B.C. Institute of Technology Retirees' Association. I taught for 25 years after working in the electrical industry for 26 years and eventually retired from BCIT in 1994.
