Jim and Barbara's Genealogy Trip Day Nine September 16

On Day nine, we again were exploring Niagara Falls. With the help of my cousin Billy, we looked at some of the old streets that were in existence when the Burjoski family lived in Niagara Falls such as Bridge St. and Ferguson St.  Unfortunately, there has been some name changes and Billy could only approximate where some of the old streets were.

We then went to the St. Patrick's Catholic Church and school.  My mom attended church and school there for a number of years in the early 1930s.  We took pictures of the church and the school.  See below! We also took pictures of the old Seneca Movie Theatre which were there in the 1920s and 30s. 

After our final obligatory stop at Tim Horton's, we bid von voyage to Billy Burjoski and departed for New York to continue our vacation.

We had a great time meeting cousins and gathering information.  Hopefully, this is just the start of a good relationship with our Canadian families.  Please email me with any comments, pictures you can share and above all, vital genealogical information as we put this puzzle together.  jimhen1@ix.netcom.com

The school has been in existence since 1892.  Evidently, it closed in 1966 but has since reopened.
