HELLO AND WELCOME!
Des Groseilliers is he our Ancestor?
He is the one sitting.
Welcome to my journey OF DISCOVERY
This journey uses, this website to open up the past and share the present.
Although the present generation is fascinating and important I will be starting with the past.
Therefore, I will be exploring the past history of the Grozelle family along with the, Brown, Farrell and Armstrong Families. As a result, you will discover how the marriages of these families produced us.
Additionally, I want to know how the great Canadian Explorer Medard des Groseilliers fits into our family story.
Thus, I am starting with the past with a question, is des Groseilliers our ancestor?
This question arises because, as children we were told that we are the descendants of Medard des Groseilliers, the fur trader, and explorer.
Thus, to determine the truth of this relationship I set out, to find out, using the help of AI.
As a result of this research with Ai’s help we proved that, my Grozelle families are descendants of Medard des Groseilliers.
there is a name change!

INSPIRATION FOR THIS WEBSITE
Because of having and viewing the photographs of my Armstrong, Farrell and Brown ancestors in this 18th century photo album, my interest was peaked to find out more about them.
As a result, I started this website to share the pictures I had found with my family and other relatives.
An 18th century photo album prompts the start of this website.
Sophia McLean a cousin of my mother’s gave me this album. The album contained pictures of the Brown, Farrell and Armstrong families in black and white.
Examples of pictures from the album
Because of the album you will get to meet John Brown (seated) with John Eades his son -in-law (standing with hand on John’s shoulder).
The picture on the left and far right is in black and white as scanned from the album, the one in the middle has been coloured by an AI programme I have.
