Trevor Cobeldick of New Zealand mailed to me his writings. I have transcribed and added part of his book including photos and maps to our site.

Recently someone copied the complete section of our Settlement pages and reposted it word for word on the Internet. Obviously, I was not to happy with this person, a total stranger. Therefore I am now adding a deterrent to the pages to prevent copying and pasting.

If you want to copy anything on our site for personal use then simply contact me for the solution..

For some time now I wanted to give you the option of Frames or No Frames. The left hand menu in Frames is a great way to get around the site.

To return to the embedded songs, simply close the jukebox and the music player. Any problems with the jukebox, please email me,

It's been a busy week working on the new look for Irwin Coveyduck's Family Album and getting all the photos transferred from My Family.Com.

I have added a new page with thumbnail photos along with a manual slide show for you folks with slow units and slow loading, Click on Irwin Coveduck's album and click on thumbnails instead of the slide show. Click on a photo then use the arrows below the description to change the picture or use your back button and select another photo.  I am aware that the new setup at Freepages is slowing down the site so these thumbnails should help the slow pokes.

My Family.com has decided to change their policy and are going to freeze our My Family.com Site and all access unless we accept their new policy. As the level of interest is not sufficient to prompt the acceptance of the new policy, I will host everything that is on My Family.com on this site. 

I have  transferred everything to my hard drive. I have deleted all of our data, photos and personal information on My Family.com before they could freeze it and I have began uploading all the photos to our family album on this site. You can now access your photos from our Index page, the Family Album or the new What's New pages. 

You can still share your photos as you did on My Family.com and Upload them onto our original Coveduck Coveyduck Coveyduc Families Of Newfoundland site or simply send them to me by email with a brief description and I will add them for you.
