Genealogists study the past
The Huron County Branch
of the Genealogical Society
has had an active ,and
productive sununer..At• the
September 2nd, meeting, it
was reported that the
membership had
mushroomed during little
over a year to 192! Most of
these,menabers live outside.
Huron County, one as far
away as Hawaii - proving
that many people the World
over `have roots in. Huron
County and are interested in
its history and background.
The librarian was able to
report that we had had many
family history booklets and
some church and town
histories donated since our
inception, and these are all
most welcome. .It was
decided that we would make
every effort to obtain such
printed histories so that they
can be used as reference
materials by people trying to
trace their roots here. If
anyone knows of any person
or organization who has
published such a history,
please encourage them to
send a copy to our archives.
We are already handling a
number of queries from
people who live at quite a
distance and want to find out
more about a specific area in
Huron County. Such
references Could be in-
valuable to our organization.
Since our treasury is quite
low we would hope to have
these donated, but would
consider purchasing them if
necessary. , First, and
foremost, we have to know
about 'the existence of such
histories and would ap-
preciate it if readers would
notify us about new, or old,
histories; (482-7167 or 524-
90n).
The guest speaker at the
July meeting was Doh Read,
a member from the Ottawa
area He brought along a
copy of his newly published
family history book, Our
Family History 1600-1980,
andexplained the format
and background of the ex-
cellent
xcellent work. Members were
most interested in his
comments on the costs of
publishing such a booklet,
and the advantages of, using
an ISBN number and
copywrite protection.
An evening workshop was
held July 22nd at the Huron
County Library in Goderich.'
Bill Partridge, county
librarian, gave an outline of
the genealogical and
historical materials
available at their offices and
also the variety of microfihn
resources available by or-
der. The Huron County
Historical Society also had
members present to show
their extensive holdings in
the fire -proof vault down-
stairs.

Accessibility
Handicapped residents
and visitors to Huron County
will soon have an ac-
cessibility guide to help them
plan their movements
around the county.
A team of five students,
working under a Summer
Works' grant, is nearing
completion of a survey it has
made of public buildings and
private businesses. In the
remaining three weeks of'
summer, the students will
assemble the facts and
-figures they have collected
to produce a guide which the
handicapped can use. "Like
a phone book," says project
manager Stewart Huyck.
The survey covers ap-
proximately 1,400 building in
towns, villages and hamlets
in Huron. Focusing on the
features of buildings im-
portant to a mobility -
impaired person, the survey
supplies information about
door. widths,.'aisle mobility,
parking, steps, curbs, and
washroom facilities.
After a building was
surveyed,. a description of its
facilities was sent to the
manager. Mr. Huyck said
'de prepared for the Handicapped
about 10 per cent of all
managers phoned about
corrections.
The Huron Day Centre for
the Homebound, in con-
nection with the Action
League for Physically
Handicapped Adults in
Huron (ALPHA -HURON)
will distribute the guides to
handicapped residents in the
county. Mr. Huyck
estimated there are 350
handicapped residents in
Huron. One thousand copies
will be printed, and 50 copies
will go. to the March of
Dimes.
The remainder of the
guides will be placed in
libraries in Huron County,
across Canada and the
United States. Mr. Huyck
says a library in Montreal
has requested a copy. The
copies in distant places will
be for the benefit of han-
dicapped people planning a
visit to this area. Copies will
also be available at the
Canadian border, and in-
formation centres.
The cost for producing the
guides is not covered by the
grant, so Mr. Huyck hopes
the production cost of $3,000
can be covered by ap-
proaching towns in the
county and asking them to
help foot the bill. Service
clubs may also be ap-
proached.
All donations to the guide
will be mentioned in it, and
will be payable to the Huron
Day Centre since it is a
registered charitable
organization. Donations will
be tax deductable.
Mr. Huyck has found
organizations and businesses
generally helpful, but
sometimes defensive.
"Many think we're con-
demning their building but
we're not. We're trying to
help." He said any business
which wants information on
making a building more
accessible could contact
