• Kent Branch of The Ontario Genealogical Society & Kent Historical Society November Webinar. Join us in person or online at 7:00pm. Co-hosted with the Kent Historical Society
Location: McKinlay Reception Centre. Speaker: Kae Elgie. Topic: This Land: The Story of Two Hundred Acres in Kent County. Researcher, author and long time OGS member, Kae Elgie, will meet with us in-person discuss her experience and tips learned while researching the stories of all the people who lived on the same two hundred acres of land where she grew up. Kae learned how to identify and date the artefacts (“arrowheads”) that so many farmers have informally discovered on their land, how to use land records to piece together the stories of the many settler families who consecutively settled that land, how to discover the social and economic context and setting for these stories, and how to tie hundreds of “facts” into a very interesting story. This presentation will be co-hosted with the Kent Historical Society. It is free and open for anyone to attend at the McKinlay Funeral Home’s Reception Centre at 463 St. Clair St., Chatham. Please park in the Hakim Optical parking lot (not the funeral home). To attend online register at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/
