I descend from a very large family from the Johnstown/Prescott area, and have always been fascinated about my family's history and genealogy. My Nana often told stories about her twelve siblings, and learning more about the different branches and offshoots of my family is an exciting pastime for me.

My paternal family hails from along the St Lawrence River areas, and traces back to some of the first loyalists who moved from New York to Ontario.
