I am working on a scrapbook for my parents. My dad is from Isle Valen but does not have a lot of photos from there. I'd really appreciate any photos anyone might have and would be so kind as to e-mail me. Thanks for your help....it will be great for my scrapbook.

Hi Heather...would you mind if I added my request to yours because I am looking for exactly the same thing. My grandfather and great-grandfather Judge were from Isle Valen, and so far I have never even seen ONE photo of the place. Apparently their house was on a block next to Grand's Pond (or is that Grant's ? Don;t know.).
And if anyone knows if any Judges are burried there in RC cemetery,would really appreciate the information.
And if anyone knows my great-grandmother Mary Ellen Miller (married to Patrick Judge), would love to find out family information. She was apparently of Mi'Kmaq descent.
I live in Australia so cannot get there myself. Thanks. Ward.

I looked for pictures of Isle Valen by searching for the name and then clicking on "image." Unfortunately, the only picture was one of the one room school in Isle Valen. That may be a little help in your search. Do you have access to the "Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador"? There is an article about Isle Valen, complete with 2 pictures-- one is captioned "Isle Valen", the other captioned "Isle Valen after resettlement."

Surnames: JUDGE, Lawlor, Miller Mi'Kmaq relations also.
Thanks, Marie. Will look at those, but actually hoping some people out there will have some general community photos of the Island at any time, even last week's digital shots.....and also especially any information (photos unlikely but welcome) from when my people lived there from mid-1800's until sometime before 1895.Thanks. Ward.

Hi Enos, You have indeed found your first cousin Wayne, I am Wayne's sister Christine, another first cousin. Anyone on here looking for pictures of the Island should ask to join the group on Facebook. I have never had the pleasure of visiting Isle Valen! The pictures on the FB group brings it to be the next best thing!
