BOOK - Tracing Your [British] Air Force Ancestors By: Phil Tomaselli
Whether you are interested in the career of an individual air-man or woman, researching
medals awarded to a pilot or crew member or just want to know more about a particular
squadron or operation, this book will point you in the right direction. Assuming that the
reader has no prior knowledge of the air force, its history or organization, Phil
Tomaselli explains which records survive, where they can be found and how they can help
you in your research. He also recommends resources available online as well as books and
memoirs. More Information:

BOOK - Your Family Reunion: How to Plan it, Organize it AND Enjoy it By George G. Morgan.
This book is a guide for organizing a successful and exciting reunion, regardless of
whether it is a casual backyard barbecue, a get-together at a hotel or resort, or a
weeklong cruise. No matter whether this is your first family reunion or your tenth, the
keys to a successful event are to plan and organize a structure for it, get the people
together, and provide opportunities for a variety of memory-making activities. More

BOOK - The Legacy of John Waldie and Sons: A History of the Victoria Harbour Lumber
Company [Simcoe County, Ontario]
By: Kenneth A. Armstrong & Marjorie McLeod. Local history and genealogical connections
are part of the Waldie story, headquartered at Victoria Harbour in Simcoe County.
Documentation of the forest that the company logged, their nature, amount and sizes of
logs harvested with the descriptions of the forests as they are now, throws new light and
shatters some of the current myths. This little-known story provides insights into days of
rampant entrepreneurialism, the world of the lumber barons and the overall impact on our
Ontario forests. More information

BOOK - Freshwater Heritage, A History of Sail on the Great Lakes [Canada-USA], 1670-1918.
By: Don Bamford. This book represents the culmination of a lifelong passion for sailing
and for the history of sail as it applies to Canada. Author/sailor/boat builder Don
Bamford takes us deep into the psyche of sailing as it applies to historical events on the
Great Lakes and to stories of the people and places there at the time. More Information:

BOOK - The Last Stand, A Journey Through the Ancient Cliff-Face Forest of the Niagara
Escarpment [Ontario]. By: Peter E. Kelly & Douglas W. Larson. Foreword by Sarah
Harmer. The Last Stand reveals the complete account of the discovery of this ancient
forest, of the miraculous properties of the trees forming this forest (eastern white
cedar), and of what is was like for researchers to live, work and study within this
forest. The unique story is told with text, with stunning colour photographs and through
vivid first-hand accounts. This book will stand the test of time as a testament to
science, imagination and discovery. More Information:

ARTICLE: Unprovoked Acts of Genealogical Generosity
By: Janice Kent.
For the last two and a half years I have been researching my ancestors who arrived in
Canada in the 1800's. On one branch of our family tree, the earliest known ancestor
was William Heasman from Bidborough, England. This is the story of people showing
incredible generosity to a family historian they'd never met. Read the complete
