About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

This is a dhow off the coast of the Zanzibar islands in East Africa.
Zanzibar has an absolutely fascinating history - pirates, slaves the Omani Muslim rulers. Not forgetting the British when they colonised Tanzania, to which Zanzibar belonged. The population of Zanzibar was a diverse mix of Arabs, Africans, Chinese, Indians, Portugese and later the English.
There is one very famous person who was born and raised in Zanzibar. His name was Farroukh Balsara. Of course that name doesn't mean anything you. So when he and his family moved to Britain in the late 1950s, he eventually changed his name to Freddie Mercury!! Yes the front man for the Rock group Queen. One of my all time favourite music groups.
