**If you are interested in Newfoundland genealogy** there is a wonderfully researched book featuring many of the old families of this area.

The author is now working on Book 2. These books are only available through the author when they are in print.

“They Lived By The Sea” (Book 1) is a remarkably well researched 400 page coil-bound book (so it will lie flat while doing research) written by M. Elizabeth Squires. To quote promotional material: “there are 111 individual Taylors, 104 Bemisters, 83 Joyces, 46 Footes, 43 Guys, 36 Peaches, 36 Pikes, 29 Penneys, 28 Parsons and many Camerons, Forwards, Udells, Maddocks, Hopkins and Goulds, as well as members of other families.”
