It's time to
publish the record of Maurice Ford on the
internet - preserve it in cyberspace forever - so to
speak.
Maurice was my grandfather - father of Peggy Salvis.
The one who gave me my mother. He was a gracious
man - orphaned by his father who died before his birth.
His mother fell to the great influenza pandemic in 1893.
When he left his body, his Eulogy was
read by a black
-man in a black mans church. To see how Maurice was
rescued from a religious cult in "jolly old",
and brought to
Canada by Dr. Barnardo's Group - click here to go
