HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-09-16, Page 18PAGE 2A -- GODE RICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16,1981 Productive sumer Genealogical S The Huron County Branch of the Genealogical Society has had an active and productive summer. At the September 2nd meeting, it was reported that the membership had mushroomed during little over a year to 192! Most of these members 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 ciety's membershi 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 Robin McDonald and Heather Murray were tired but happy on Sunday when they completed a 10 km route in Goderich in support of Terry Fox Day. Approximately 100 runners, walkers and joggers turned out to raise ;2,070.15 for cancer research.

Don Pullen, Huron's Agricultural Representative, introduced his friend, and Andrew gave us some background history regarding 'his family tree research. We were ableto look over the excellent hard- cover books prepared covering his families. The history found in such books, and the variety of layout plans, makes them most interesting to all our members. Carole Robinson, branch chairlady, spoke on her family history at the most recent meeting. Of par- ticular interest was a family write-up done many years ago based on recollections of stories told by her great - great -grandmother to her grandfather about Capt. Hathaway and Samuel Green, re the battle of- Lundys Lane circa (1l70). Fascinating accounts of life in a different era, that en- thralled all.
