SUMMARY:UEL Association of Canada Toronto Branch April 2023 Meeting (Virtual): "The Mills Loyalists of Cumberland County\, N.S."
DESCRIPTION:By Rev. Dr. Jonathan Mills UE\, an ordained minister in the Canadian Baptist family of churches. He took an interest in genealogy when his mother became ill and the preservation of the family history took on a new sense of urgency (aka borderline obsession). \nHis presentation will highlight three major areas including:\n1) an overview of his personal journey and his Mills Loyalist roots\,\n2) his discoveries and progress to the Archives in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick\, and\n3) a deep dive into Y-DNA and how it helped solve a 240 year old mystery regarding the relationships between four Mills Loyalists of Cumberland County. \nContact Sally Gustin torontouel@gmail.com for the zoom link.

SUMMARY:UEL Association of Canada Toronto Branch February 2023 Meeting (Virtual): "British Child Migration" by Pat Skidmore
DESCRIPTION:On February 23\, 2023 at 7:30 pm via zoom\, Pat Skidmore is going to give us an overview of the 350 year history of British Child Migration – a history that has been kept silent for a good portion of the 350 years.  British Child Migration took place as far back as the 1830s to the late 1940s\, although the ‘height’ of child migration to Canada was between 1869 and the 1930s. \nHer research is mainly centered on the Prince of Wales Fairbridge Farm School and her mother\, Marjorie’s\, experience there.  Over 120\,000 children were sent to Canada . Over 95% of the children were not orphaned. \nTo register\, send an email to torontouel@gmail.com – a meeting link will be sent out by February 20th.

SUMMARY:UEL Association of Canada - Toronto Branch Speaker Series: Dan Buchanan – 38 Hours to Montreal
DESCRIPTION:Dan Buchanan is “The History Guy of Brighton.” He is engaged in many history activities related to local and Ontario history\, working from his home in Brighton\, Ontario. As a guest speaker\, Dan provides fascinating stories of Ontario history presented with humour and passion. See www.danbuchananhistoryguy.com. \nHe has written three books and is going to speak with us about his second book\, “38 Hours To Montreal: William Weller and the Governor General’s Race of 1840”. It tells the story of an amazing sleigh ride in February 1840\, all the way from Toronto to Montreal – in under 38 hours. The book is presented as a road trip\, with the reader sitting on the bench with Mr. Weller as he drives through every little town and village on the Kingston Road and the King’s Highway between Toronto and Montreal. There is a bit of local history about each place as the trip progresses and also there is also lots of historical context which explains why Mr. Weller is driving the GG to Montreal in such a hurry. \nLink will be sent to members a few day before the event. If you are not on the email list then contact torontouel@gmail.com and ask for it.
