WW1by .JOHN W FISHER
cENTE•NNIAL COMmiSSioNER.
I have met a number of Cala
adians inspired, by the corning
Centennial celebrations, to re-
search, the family tree.
Tracing. back one's lineage
can be an 'interesting pastime and
may.' produce some surprises. One
• ,woman from, London,:.Ontario,
told me she had turned' up the
uniform ..her grandfather .worein
the Northwest 'Rebellion of 1885,
stored for years in. 'an attic trunk
belonging to ,a maiden aunt:Until
the 'uniform was . discovered . she
hadn't known her grandfather was
involved .with ' the prairie uprising.
The reason why I like to
encourage people to research' fam-
ily. history is that it may..provide
more .than a .. textbook' link with
the history of the. country.. History •
can become . alive and - personal.
A woman in Ottawa, for ex-
ample, -who has adopted Canada •
as her '• country, .knew .about the.
:Battle of- the Plains of Abraham.
but she did 'not realize - it was
Captain James - Cook who guided'
General Wolfe's• men -to the- shores.
of Q ebec. She learned of this
•
when she discovered she was a
direct descendant . of that famous
navigator.
It is worth noting,also, that
the spirit of the times rules out
the old snobbecry associated . with
clains of, having dukes, counts
and other notables as ancestors.:
. I recall, touches of humor as- .
sociated with .a period 25, -to 30•
years ago when some families
went to greattrouble and. some '
times. considerable • expense to
have their histories researched. .
Those whose ancestors came from
Europe •or the • British Isles often
'were hopeful of. finding - proof of
heroes- or royal blood in ' their'
backgrounds. Certainly a copy
of the family crest on old' parch-
ment,' framed and hanging in the
dining room, was . a status • symbol
Of sorts.
During 'the family crest; craw
various "services" across the seas
published:. classified advertisements
in North • American . newspapers':
offering to research official docu-
ments- . and' produce ' bona . fide
family crests ... for , a fee. It

side of the ocean would later dis-
cover they actually had. paid for
a . fictional drawing whichcame
only from the mind of a second
rate commercial artist in a foreign

Family history research,; can
produce exciting stories too. One
of our young office boys at the
Centennial ;Commission .didn't give
a hoot about history until he
discovered that an ancestor of his
figured .prominently in the ' Papi-
neau uprising. His eyes stared' in.
disbelief -as he spotted his own.
unusual French name in Mason
Wade's "French Canadians". They
widened even more when he Tread.
on to. find , that a troop. .of the
Montreal Volunteer Cavalry had
been .sent to . St.. Johns, Quebec,. "
to capture .. his • ancestor... The an-
cestor evaded . -the Cavalry and
fled 'to the United States..
"Gee, ' I've often•', wondered
why I ' have so many American
relatives," he said. "Now I know:.
• Here in Canada we had a . price
on our heads!"
I recommend,' as a personal
Centennial project for ' yourself,
that. - you check into old • family .
albums and books lying. around
the house: ' Ask the relatives too.
There's no telling what interesting
Canadian history you might :"find
with a family connection: of your
own.
Whether they have "trees" or
note, - families , also : can play a big
part in the 'Centennial celebra-
tions .by making 1967 the big
year , for those ... picnics • and
reunions which long have been
typical festive ,occasions in many,
Canadian • communities..
