Newfoundland and Labrador is Canada’s youngest and easternmost province, joining the Confederation of Canada in 1949. The Irish call it the Land of the Fish for it was the fish, or the cod, that brought Europeans for centuries to its coastal waters. The cod fishery has helped shape the province’s distinctive history, and its culture is a unique blend of its Indigenous people and those of English, Irish, and French heritage.

Submitted by nehgsadmin on

This book follows the direct ancestry of Leonard Harold Walker DeBernardi and Judith Elaine Ontko. These families made their way from Europe to the eastern coast of America and eventually to Minnesota and beyond. Many of Leonard’s English ancestors—connected to the Claflin and Fenton families—migrated to New England and New Jersey during the 1600s, while others—connected to the Walker and Branson families—chose to settle in Maryland and Virginia during the 1700s.
