While browsing the internet

 

I came across this picture which is apart of a book it literally blew me away to see this.

~ Those where The Days ~

Back some seven years ago I had did a search within my ancestory within ancestory.com. I was amazed to find that there was a book which was made as with my last name my grandfather placed and "i" embetween the "a" and "n". Yet there are some stangers which are from several places and many do have the "stainger" name.

I am not an inigma as many go with different names just for there own privacy.

Yet last night when I was just doing some searching around I found came to find it too interesting. I had done a entire ancestory tree back at this time and I have distant relatives which are from Australia and New Zealand. As they where my grandfather's two brothers came to Canada and decided to keep the name "Stanger" and both went to New York and then to Australia and New Zealand.

William Stanger went back and forth to South Africa from New Zealand for some reason I believe he was a mission or he had done some justice within South Africa as in South Africa there is a town which some tribal chief had honored him as there is a town in South Africa named "Stanger"

  3. I am also curious to know what book you found the picture in, that it would be so surprising and blow you away...? --Or are you going to keep us in suspense? ;) ~ Blessings!

  5. I am just checking back to see if there was an answer to the question on everyone's mind. Is that a family photo? If so---is that you in the black suit? My sister-in-law sent me a wedding pic with me as the best man from 1969 and it "blew me away". So that is why my guess is that it is a family pick from "those were the days".

  12. Susan it's not a hoax I found that on the internet via this program combined with using google integrated.
    I will see if I can find more as I do miss them all aside of other matters. What I do know is that the picture
    and the book was one of a heritage one. I will look further.

  16. Hi Doug, I can honestly say I have not. Back several years ago I knew there was this book.
    It was a surprise. I enjoyed doing my ancestory, what came about was some of the
    most interesting things.

  17. That's ok - you rest up--it's the weekend, after all. It's just that when you put your photo and impressions out there, everyone wanted to know more. It was rather exciting, whether you meant it to be or not. ;) ~ Blessings!
