If you follow my blog you might remember Ed and Phyllis, an American couple (married for 65 years!) who were recently our guests – they came to Newfoundland because Ed’s father was from Heart’s Content and they wanted to explore his roots. Well, what they say about it being a small world is true – turns out that Clifford George is Ed’s long lost cousin!
They connected immediately, which was fun to see. And Clifford has extensive knowledge of all the George’s in Heart’s Content going back to 1705 when they first arrived from England. He shared their stories and the history of life in the area.
Clifford took Ed and Phyllis to his studio and to meet Misty and Sonny. They also had supper with Doug George, another new family member, in New Harbour. Overall it was a great visit and Ed and Phyllis were delighted to meet more family in the Wonderful World of Whiteway. And we were thrilled to be a small part in helping them explore their roots.
