Good afternoon Al. Could you please post that I am looking for pictures of
Calumet Island Quebec. Any pictures will do, scenery, people etc. I can
also help those looking for that elusive relative who settled on the Island.
I have been researching my Kelly, Ladeceour and McGrath roots and have
accumulated a large collection on people who settled there. (and Bryson
Quebec Also.)
Thanks and keep up the good work.

Hi Al,
Re your new page on Patrick Hanratty: I wondered if Patrick could have been this son of Peter Hanratty in 1861 Ile-de-Grand-Calumet (attached).
I remembered the name from my research on the Renfrew County parish records, but can't find it now.
There were Cahills who were near neighbours to the Hanrattys, and I've attached a Hanratty/Cahill marriage that maybe be a union of
those two families in Calumet.
