The
latest edition of The Ottawa Genealogists was in my mail box the other day, and
it covers such events as Genealogy Research in London, UK and Attending WDYTYAL
Conference 2013, Step into History: The 19th Annual Beechwood
Cemetery Historical Walking Tour, and the article Early Bytown Settlers Index.
One
thing I have always enjoyed reading has been Edward and Elizabeth Kipp’s
research trips. I have always found them informative, news worthy, and
entertaining.
This
time, they were in London and went to the WDYTYAL where they saw some fellow
Canadians from Ottawa – Glenn Wright,
John D. Reid, and Leslie Anderson – and took in some lectures while there too.
And
they did some research too – on the BLAKE, PINCOMBE/PINKHAM, BULLER, BEARD families.
A
good report was given of the Beechwood Cemetery Historical Walking Tour that
took place on June 9th, and the theme was the War of 1812.
Some
of the people honoured was British Army Officer William Brown Bradley, and his
son Edward Sands BRADLEY, Louis-Theodore BESSERAR, and Maria HILL.
It
is reported that 300 people were there e to take the walk in good weather, which
was led by Kurt Johnson of the Goulburn Museum.
Jim
Stanzell continues with the Early Bytown Settlers Index, and this time he covers
the letters J to L.
He
gives both the surname, and given name, the reference and page number, and any notes
that is included in the Information column.
There
is lots of other news in the journal, and you can receive The Ottawa Genealogist
