My grandfather's name was Frank. I think he was from Winnipeg but lived in Vancouver. My father's name was Fred, his brother was Jim (probably James). I always had the impression that my family was from southern Ontario (after England) but can't confirm that. Have you been to the Facebook page "My name is Vanstone but you probably don't know me?" Our son did a a family tree in his last year of high school (14 years ago) and decided that some of our ancestors were pirates, a fact I personally am very proud of. Larry Hi Marlene.

My mother-in-law's maiden name is Vanstone. It's not a common name & I'm trying to do a family tree. I have sourced the name to come from England. Our grandparents were Ed&Lois Vanstone> his parents: Bert&Daisy Vanstone> his parents were from England but that's all I know. Bert's brothers were Sam & William. If perhaps you know any details that would be exciting. Just in case... thought I'd post. Our Grandpa Vanstone just passed away last year at 93 ~ we loved his character!!

It seems since we decided to winter in Mazatlan this next winter all we do is read books, and wish the time away...We plan on staying at Tres Amigos starting in November 2012. We have a 28ft 5th wheel and a little dog named Jackson (who could be your dogs cousin). I work in an office and my husband is an commercial artist. We traveled for a year in 1994 when we decided we needed a break from life. It was the best thing we ever did. Now it's time again. I found your blog through another blogger, Contessa. Maybe we will meet somewhere. We live in Penticton, BC so the summers here are very nice. Anyway I just had to leave a comment and say hi. I am sitting here at work, enjoying your blog.

You'll be happy to know that Bob's doing a great job of looking after us. We arrived in San Antonio an hour ago, it's March 17 and we are heading out looking for a green beer or two. Wish us luck!

Your blog looks interesting and you have a great sense of humor. As people who have traveled extensively in Mexico, both mainland and Baja, for years (but not recently) we are pleased to see how much you like it down there too. We really hope to meet up with you at another time and place and share stories and adventures. Happy New Year!
