We are researching my wife's family, which is rooted in Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley.
Her maternal Grandfather was James Campbell Hope who operated James Hope & Sons booksellers
and stationers located on Sparks Street. James C. Hope Sr. came from England around 1860.
They lived in Rockliffe in what is now an embassy.
Her father's family are McCreas, centered in Springtown on the Madawaska River where her
great-grandfather arrived from Ireland and is listed as an Innkeeper at that location.
We have some information on the more recent descendents we will be happy to share and
would appreciate any info prior to the mid 1800's
Cheers Dunc Morgan.
