Family tree hunt
active in Huron
BY SHELLEY MCPHEE
, Researching family history
is fast becoming a popular
interest in North American
and genealogical societies
are active in every province
in Canada and throughout
the United States.
In Ontario alone there are
more than 18 family research
organizations, including the
Huron County Branch which
recently celebrated its first
anniversary.
Since beginning a little
over a year ago, the Huron
Branch has been steadily
spreading its roots and now
has over 140 members across
Canada and the United
States.
Members use the facilities
and information that the
branch collects in attempts to
research• their ancestry,
particularly in Huron
County. To increase the
information available to its
members, the Huron Branch
Plans for Clinton's 'first
annual Klompen Feest.
organized by. Dutch
Canadians, to be held May
'0'22 and 23, are gaining
increased community
support. Over 50 people
attended a general meeting
held at. Clinton town hall
recently to discuss plans for
the weekend celebration.
Six bands have already
been booked for the Saturday
parade and over $500 has
been set aside as prize
money for the best entries.
Plans- for decorating
Clinton's main street are also
in high gear,.
A costume committee is
,busy sewing Dutch hats, and
•a doll, dressed in the
traditional Dutch costume,
has been donated as a
has begun a major
transcribing project of the 94
cemeteries in the county.
At the . branch's March 4
meeting in Goderich, project
co-ordinator Alison Lobb of
Clinton reported, that letters
had been sent to all
municipal clerks in the area,
requesting any historical
information and records of
the cemeteries.
Mrs. Lobb also noted that
the organization still had
time to apply for assistance
through the Summer Canada
Student Employment
Program, through which the
government would hire
students to 'work on the
project. •
In. February the Huron
Branch sponsored a seminar
at the county registry office
in Goderich for members.
Over 35 people attended the
evening session and Ruth
Ann Chapman reported.
"Many people don't realize
publicity boost for the feest.
Draw tickets will be sold for
the doll with proceeds going
to the festival.
Organizers said six Dutch
dance groups have already
agreed to participate in the
program and an Oktoberfest-
style band, the Tirolcr Brass
from Kitchener, will provide
music for Friday evening's
street dan'ec.
Else Degroote of Seaforth
is one of the area residents
helping with plans for the
feest.

English.

that the information at the
registry office is available to
the public. Many think it's
only for doctors, lawyers and
developers,"
At the seminar the
genealogists learned how to
look up old land deeds and
were given access to many
public records and
documents during the
evening.
Some members from the
Huron Branch, as well as
genealogists from all across
Ontario will be meeting in
Hamilton on May 15. 1.6. and
17 when the Ontario Branch
hosts its annual seminar.
To be held at McMaster
University. the three day
event will include sessions on
researching religious, land
and tax, and military re-
cords. Eleven guest 'speakers
will also be making
presentations, including
sessions on the British
immigration to North
America and a seminar on
how to compile and publish
and family history books.
The Huron Branch will be
looking at sponsoring more
seminars, for its members in
the future, and to raise funds
to make these events
possible it was agreed to sell
tickets on a family tree kit.
Tickets are available from
branch members, and the
draw winner will be chosen
at the branch's next meeting
on Wednesday, April 1.
The Huron Branch meets
the first Wednesday of each
month in Goderich at the
Ronald Feag an Memorial
Grandstand. Meetings begin
at 7:30 p.m. and new
members are welcome.
