Canada 150 - County of Halton, Ontario





During our country's 150th anniversary celebration of confederation I will write posts titled Canada 150 with a link to a publication or website I find that may help you tell the story of your Canadian ancestors.
Click on the Canada 150 label on the right or at the bottom to see all the posts.

Today I have for you...


Records and memories of Boston Church in the "Scotch Block", 
Esquesing Township, County of Halton, Ontario, Canada, 1820-1920




Includes an appendix of Original Land Holders and list of pew holders towards the back.
There are two other publications naming residents of Halton.

    A great idea. During the 150th celebrations of Queensland's Separation from New South Wales, several of the family history societies had projects like this...an invaluable resource. All the best with your project!

      I recently did a series for the Twelve Days of Christmas and there are a few Australian references on some of the days.
