Geneologist and Canadian author
Angus Baxter to speak at Library
Searching for information about one's
ancestors is becoming an increasingly
popular pastime. It can also be a very dif
ficult and frustrating undertaking. Anyone
who has thought about researching their
family tree or local history has probably
found themselves asking the following ques-
tions: Where do I begin? What records are
available? Where do I find them? What
organizations can help me? All these ques-
tions, and many more, will be answered at
the Bayfield Branch Library on Wed. May
15th at 2:30 p.m. by noted Canadian
genealogist and author, Angus Banter.
Angus Baxter, who lives in Lakefield, On-
tario, is a long -tune member of the Society
of Genealogists in London,England, and the
Ontario Genealogical Society. During his
thirty years' experience in the field, he has
traced the ancestors of many prominent
Canadians, 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 a 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 tp 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 humourolis 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 & Culture
May is Familyninty Month in Ontario
• • • •
May is Family Unity Month in Ontario,
continuing a tradition started in 1975 when
Family Unity Month was first officially pro-
claimed by the Ontario Government. This
celebration recognizes the many contribu-
tion made by the family to the quality of life
in the province.
The 1985 theme, Once A Year - All Year!,
encourages appreciation of the family year
round, not just for one month.
"This special month presents an oppor-
tunityfor us all to strengthen family ties and
reaffirm our belief in the family as the cor-
nerstone of society," said Gordon H. Dean,
Provincial Secretary for Social Develop-
ment.
