As they tell the stories\, Carol and Dawn will show some of the resources they used to trace their family histories. \nDawn Kelly is a veteran radio newscaster. In 1998\, after 13-years moving town-to-town\, up-and-down the dial in private radio\, she signed on as a national newscaster at The Canadian Press.

Since retiring in 2016\, she has been able to devote more time to her hobby and has made great progress on her family history story. Her family has deep roots in Ontario\, but she is jealous of her husband’s deep French-Canadian roots on his father’s side\, which include 35 Filles à Marier and 34 Filles du Roi. Carol is currently Chair of the Toronto Branch of the Ontario Genealogy Society. \nIn 2021 Carol and Dawn won the Members’ Choice Award from the Toronto Branch of Ontario Ancestors for their presentations on New France.

SUMMARY:UEL Association of Canada - Governor Simcoe Branch (In-Person and Virtual): February 2023 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 1\, at 7:30pm – on Zoom; Register here \nThe meeting will take place in the downstairs meeting room at St. David’s Church\, 49 Donlands.\nIf you plan to attend in person\, RSVP to Anne Neuman at anneneuman@hotmail.com  or 905-888-1278. \nThese three heroes share their lives and stories in common terms with many of our early people. They are stories of war\, espionage\, escape and love. All these stories connect to early life in Upper Canada. Through their acts and lives we are now a country called Canada and though we share many common elements with our neighbours to the South\, we are a separate identity\, formed through steadfast will and might\, keeping our line drawn at the 49th parallel. \nRuth will share her research with you into the lives of just three of these stories. Robert Land is well known in the Hamilton area and books have been written about his service to the Crown and his troubled and eventful life. Issac Ferris was only 17 years old when he took on an act of bravery for General Brock and Chief Tecumseh. John Cornwall was a learned man and helped develop law and order in this new land. \nYou will leave with a feeling of pride and happiness as you reflect on how their lives have influenced our lives today. \nRuth Nicholson\, UE has agricultural roots: born & raised in Essex County\, Ontario. All four of her proven Loyalist ancestors are from The New Settlement\, the NW side of Lake Erie. They are: Jacob Arner\, John Cornwall\, Joseph Ferriss & Henry Wright. \nRuth is past president of the Hamilton Branch UELAC and has been Chair of the Dominion Conference Committee since 2013. She has been asked to speak across the province from Kingsville to Kingston and has given numerous educational presentations. \nRuth taught elementary school for 44 years with The Halton Board of Education. She has been recognized both provincially and at the Board level with awards for innovation and creativity in education. \nRuth enjoys her vegetable garden\, turning the harvest into pickles & preserves\, baking & painting with her 11 year old granddaughter & golfing with her husband.

SUMMARY:UEL Association of Canada - Governor Simcoe Branch (Virtual and In-Person): December 2022 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:“A Biography of Charles William Jefferys” — Presentation by Richard Fiennes-Clinton \nIn-person and on Zoom; Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcrcu2hqjMpH9U-HYnzfkzJwg6_0TokV_Gv \nCharles William Jefferys was an illustrator who is best remembered for his drawings\, sketches and paintings of Canadian history. In the 1920s\, 1930s and 1940s\, he published several books of meticulously researched historical imagery. This work included information about the United Empire Loyalists. Later critics have objected that Jefferys’ work is “too old fashioned”\, or not culturally sensitive enough. In this biography\, we will examine this part of his legacy too\, and explore the lasting value of Jeffery’s work. \nRichard Fiennes-Clinton has operated an historical walking tour company called “Muddy York Walking Tours” for many years. He is also the recent author of a book on Toronto’s early history called Muddy York: A History of Toronto Until 1834. \nRichard has made a number of presentations to Gov. Simcoe Branch on a variety of topics related to the history of Toronto. The well-researched content is presented on numerous slides; his rapid presentation style allows him to cover a lot of material. \nThe meeting will take place in the downstairs meeting room at St. David’s Church\, 49 Donlands (please note\, NOT St. David’s Towers at 51 Donlands).\nIf you plan to attend in person\, RSVP to Anne Neuman at anneneuman@hotmail.com or 905-888-1278.
