iFamily History: My First Genealogy Trip

In 1967 I went with my mother to southwestern Ontario for my first genealogy trip. I was 8. We went to Tiverton, Bruce, Ontario where my grandfather was from. We visited family and graveyards.

The lady on the right is my 2nd great Aunt. Aunt Minnie Mcfadyen. The lady beside her on the left is Margaret Cameron. This photo was taken in 1967 in Tiverton, Ontario.

The lady on the left is Aunt Minnie again, this time with my mother. I remember visiting with her. Minnie was hard of hearing but she could hear me. She was very nice.

Genealogy

I researched my paternal grandmother's line to the first three white landowners of Canada in the 80's. I began genealogy going on genealogy trips in Ontario, England, and Scotland at graveyards with my mother starting at age 7 on. As a teenager, I sat in front of a microfilm reader with a list of names every Saturday at an FHL while my mother volunteered helping others.

I have spoken at Genealogical conferences and sessions at RootsTech (UT), FamilyRoots (UT), The Genealogy Show (in Birmingham, UK) as well as in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ogden, and Ontario.
