Part 2   "Sunny Bank Families"

This section contains a brief history of each of Sunny Bank's pioneers. In the book there are 160 family charts, including most families who have resided in Sunny Bank during the past 230 years.

However, using the magic of the internet, and the efforts of Curtis Patterson to transfer and update the volumes of work done by Raymond Patterson in the 1950's, I have linked directly into a huge database of Gaspe Genealogy. Simply click "Genealogy of..." at the bottom of each family history, and you will be transferred directly that person in the database. It is much more extensive than my book, though dates for living persons are omitted. If there are questions about any descendants of these original settlers, please contact me and I'll attempt to answer it for you. The database "Gaspe Bay Area Families," is publicly available at "Rootweb" and can be accessed from GaspeLink at any time.
