York Region Branch OGS Meeting
Speaker: John Hobbs
Topic: Remembrance Day - Remembering an Ancestor
Based on a collection of letters sent home to his mother, this presentation outlines the family background of a young WWII flier, describes some of his experiences while stationed in England, and puts this into the context of Remembrance Day. The letters and associated photos were found in the course of conducting family history research. The flier was a cousin (second cousin once removed) of the presenter.
Annual elections and an opportunity to bring brickwalls to be worked on over December and January. Have new eyes look at your brickwall. (Brickwalls may be emailed to jamaldridge@rogers.com by branch members.) |
