Hello, I just found this site the other day and have to say it was great to read so many wonderful things about Almonte. For those that may remember we lived opposite St. Mary's Church. I still have great memories of this fabulous town.

Hello Almonte
I have been here for two weeks now and have enjoyed seeing my brother Don and my sisters Jean and Debbie.
I came to see my mother Mary at the Manor and she is doing OK so far. She is 91.
Although I am enjoying my stay here I am looking forward to returning to Sydney to be with my five children and my grandchildren.
I didn't know that my daughter had left a message in the guestbook until I was called by Joanna Meehan who had seen it and decided to get in touch.
It was good to talk to her and some of my longtime friends from the good old days.
I am returning to Sydney on the 27th and will take some good memories back with me.
Almonte will always have a special place in my heart no matter I where I am.

My Grandfather, Archibald Cameron was born in Almonte,ON in 1858. He was 0ne of 12 children born to Donald Cameron and his wife Stuart Miller. Does anyone know how I could find birth records, christening records, death records etc. on this family? Are there any Cameron families still living in town who might be related? I'm trying to do a Cameron family genealogy so any info on Camerons in Almonte could be most helpful. Thanks, Robert (Bob) Cameron

Nice town, mother in law was a MacDougall as in Randy and Dales aunt.On Dec 24/08 I was at a Walmart in north west St.Petersburg, Fla at checkout #15 when cashier recognized my shirt as Canadian. We talk, she tells me she lived in Almonte as a child. Her name was Marion O'Shea born 1931, recalls the 1942 train wreck near her home. She lived in a yellow house near the railroad station. Small world.

Re: Stanley Jones

I know that a lot of people who have lived in Almonte, and have moved away, visit this website. My Daddy, Stanley Jones, passed away on February 22, 2008. Daddy was 92 years young. He died the same way as he lived his life, with such grace and dignity. We will miss you Daddy!

To Grant Larocque- I grew up on Gore St. in Almonte. A Denny Larocque and his wife Annie lived on the corner of Gore and Spring St. for many years. Denny passed away in 1973 and Annie prior to that. I think he must have been 90 or more. His daughter Alma passed away recently. Another daughter Flori still lives in Almonte. Does any of this help?
