The Viking Roots Project Phase 1
In the first phase of this project, you can register your information and begin filling in your profile with information about yourself and your family by answering a few questions. From here, other family members can join and enter their information which may extend the family tree, connect long-lost family members, share stories, and help discover more about your lineage. Where your ancestors originated, their stories, and how their paths lead to where you are today. This can then be added by your own extended family including children to continue to story while connecting online with one another for years to come.

Gimli Saga Book
The Gimli Saga brings the reader face to face with the stark realities of pioneer existence and the enduring power of human resourcefulness, stubborn determination and unfailing courage. This comprehensive work, replete as it is with treasured memories, depicts the transition from a small, isolated settlement to an economically and culturally progressive community with all the amenities of modern civilization. The book offers ample testimony that the pioneers' vision of a rewarding future in their adopted Canada was realized by their descendants.
