It can also be a very difficult and frustrating undertaking. Anyone who has thought about resear- ching their family tree or local history has probably found themselves ask- ing the following questions: Where do I begin? What records are available? Where do I find them? What organizations can help me? All these questions, and many more, will be answered at the Bayfield Branch Library on Wednesday, May 15 at 2:30 p.m. by noted Canadian genealogist and anuthor, Angus Baxter. Angus Baxter, who lives in Lakefield, On- tario, is a long-time member of the Society Genealogists in London, England, and the Ontario Genealogical Society. During his 30 years' experience in the field, he has traced the ancestors of many prominent Cana- dians, as well as following his own family history back to the twelfth century. He is much in demand as a lecturer on this topic, and has appeared all over Canada to give his helpful talks, while his books have been published in Canada, the United States, and Australia. Mr. Baxter has three books published by Macmillan "In Search of Your Roots" (1978), "In Search of Your British and Irish Roots" (1982), and "In Search of Your Euro- pean Roots" (May 1985). His first book is considered to be classic in the field of ancestor -hunting. Mr. Baxter's talk is entitled "In Search of Your Roots" and will cover following points: Canadian records and where to find them; civil registrations, church registers, archives, census returns, wills, land grants, etc. Examples of various types of records, family trees, wills, etc. will be on display. Mr. Baxter is known for his humourous and entertaining presentation as well as his practical advice. Admission is free. Everyone is welcome. _ This program is presented by the Huron County Public Library with the assistance of the Outreach program of the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture.

MAY 1, 1985 Baytield au Rouncl and. about An error in the account of the silver trowel presented to the United Church by Leroy and Ethel Poth, was mine. It was the Rev. Hamilton Gibson's daughter Miss Kate Gib- son who laid the corner stone of the then Presbyterian Church in 1902. There was a mysterious house on the pro- perty now owned by Rae and Irma Fraser and his brother. Children feeling very dar- ing would each summer go to explore as it stood open to the elements due to a very complicated will. The Rev. Mr. Gibson resided in this house when he served as Presbyterian minister here before St. An- drew's was built. Red brick houses were a rarity in those days, but Robert Gairdner was able to use this medium when he built this house. He lived there until he moved into town to live with his brother James, in what is now the Charles Rogers' msidence. Mr. Gibson then resided in the house, which subsequently became the home of the Thompson, Rae's grandparents. Nearly all our travelling villagers are home. This week Alfred and Vera McLaughlin returned from their winter in Arizona, stopping en route to visit Vera's nephew Tom Arkell, who spent his boyhood in Bayfield. Frank and Betty Burch have been touring in the American south west and are at home just in time to enjoy this most beautiful season in Bayfield. Many of the so called new services being introduced in our church services date back to earliest times. The Rev. Audrey Bell is conducted evensong on the last Sunday of each month and this Sunday was such an oc- casion. It is a lovely quiet time to spend in church, now that Sunday has become so commercialized, one thinks of that famous painting the Angelus somehow, especially on these lovely spring days. Don't forget the special meeting of council on Monday; May 6 at 7:30 p.m. A zoning bylaw amendment is to be discussed and property owners should be aware of the pro- posals. ro- posals.

'3.49 BAYFIELD - It's difficult for children to know who they can and cannot trust. Youngsters may be confronted by a stranger attempting to coax therm into a car with candy or promises, or they may face a dangerous situation if a familiar person of- fers a ride to school. Street proofing programs are attempting to educate the children on when to say no and when to say yes. But there are no hard and fast rules because in 85 per cent of cases involving missing and abused children, the child knew the person involved. A relatively new identification program called Q -Print is dealing with the facts after a child has been reported missing. The Bayfield Optimist Club la making the Q -Print program available to all area children on May 4 in the municipal meeting rooms from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The program is basic, yet provides all' the information investigators would need to identify a child. This information is put on one card and given to the parents. In the top left hand corner of the card is a spot to place a picture of the child. It is recommended that this picture be up -dated PLACE PHOTO HERE UNDER 1 YEAR Replace Photo Every 4 Months OVER 1 YEAR Replace Photo Yearly yearly, or if the child is under one -year-old, it should be renewed every four months. The most important identification is on the reverse side. Here spaces are provided for a print from each of the child's fingers as well as the left and right palm prints. Other information recorded includes a physical description (color, height, weight and eyes), scars and birth marks, dentist and doctor's name, parents' and child's name, address and telephone number as well as blood type and allergies. "The program provides a way of identify- ing the children after they have ran away, or been abducted," explained Bayfield Op- timist Publicity Chairman John Stanley. "For example; if a child is on his way home from school and a person pulls up and asks the child if they would like a ride, and the child does get in the car, the police can take the prints off the door or seats." The Q -Print program is fully recognized by the Ontario Provinical Police. Although the Q -Print program does not prevent the child from being abducted, "if one child is saved, it will all be worthwhile," said Mr. Stanley.
