Talk:Twillingate, Newfoundland and Labrador

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article should be changed to 'Twillingate, Newfoundland and Labrador'

[edit] Devon---West Country

"By the winter of 1739, there were 152 people - the "livyers" or permanent settlers - living in Twillingate. They were mostly fishermen and their families from the West Country in England."

The sentence originally read "Devon". This is a common misconception, so I have changed it to read "West Country" because surname and family history research in this area of Notre Dame Bay demonstrates that the original settlers in Twillingate came mainly from Dorset with some incomers from the neighbouring counties of Hampshire, Wiltshire, and Devon.

[edit] Merge

Someone has recently created new articles called Twillingateabout and Toulinguet (which is about the history of this place). I think at this time this info would be better served as sections of this article, rather then as its own article. So it needs to be merged, history and all. ~ ONUnicorn (Talk / Contribs) 15:13, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Outdated Link

Dear Site Webmaster/Administrator/Owner

I am in the process of doing an evaluation and clean-up of the website of the Family History Society of Newfoundland and Labrador.

My analysis shows that your site has links to our discontinued website "Newfoundland and Labrador Genealogical Society" at URL address http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/nlgs/. The Society name has been changed to "Family History Society of Newfoundland and Labrador" and our website now resides at URL address http://fhsnl.ca/

We would greatly appreciate it if you could make an effort to update your site links with the correct name and latest URL address of our Society.

Thank you, your efforts will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, Kevin Reddigan
