Among the Dutch immigrants in the communities I grew up in, there are bitter stories of settling the land. Government reps coming to the Netherlands or sending brochures of wide open fields, offering a better life, more space, etc. So many of them bought in to it and settled in central Alberta ... only to find it was all a lie. Yes, they could have wide open fields for their farms BUT first they had to clear the forests!! Not quite the bargain they signed up for! LOL But apparently the ancestors of everyone I grew up with was happy to have moved there, in spite of the hardships! :) JenniferRMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920506748151590491noreply@blogger.com
