Wondering if anyone else has anything crazier than my paternal line. I have double, triple checked the records because it seemed so unlikely. My 3rd great grandfather had a half sister 40 years older than him.

Grandfather - 1940s

Great grandfather - 1892

Great great grandfather - 1845

3x great grandfather - 1808

4x great grandfather - 1743 (had his last child in 1821)

5x great grandfather - 1710 5x great grandmother 1702

6x great grandfather - 1649

7x great grandfather - 1606

8x great grandfather - 1574

I'm wondering if anyone else has come across a similar thing...

On my Mum's paternal side, her 2nd great granduncle, a doctor from Canada, was friends with Henry Bonham-Carter (1827-1921). On her maternal side, her English great grandfather, a postman, was friends with Henry's son, Gerard (1865-1956), and they played cricket together. I doubt this is that unusual but it's just crazy to me!

Hello everyone,

I've attached an old family photo (likely somewhere in Quebec) and I was wondering if anyone can identify exactly where it was taken. I've put it through google and it believes it is Moulin à vent de Grondines but the structure to me looks very different.

The photo was taken in the late 1930s to early 1940s.
