BOOK - Flight From Famine, The Coming Of The Irish To Canada
By Donald MacKay
We are pleased to report that this popular book is now back in print. One of Canada's founding peoples, the Irish arrived in the Newfoundland fishing stations as early as the seventeenth century. By the eighteenth century they were establishing farms and settlements from Nova Scotia to the Great Lakes. Then, in the 1840s, came the failures of Ireland's potato crop, which people in the west of Ireland had depended on for survival. The famine survivors who helped build Canada in the years that followed Black '47 provide a testament to courage, resilience, and perseverance. By the time of Confederation, the Irish population of Canada was second only to the French, and four million Canadians can claim proud Irish descent. More information

BOOK - Historically Bound, Embro and West Zorra 1820-2007 - Two Volume Set. [Oxford County, Ontario, Canada]
By Dean Robinson.
A brief examination of this set of books leaves me envious of those with connections to Embro and Zorra Township. The Embro and West Zorra Township History Book Committee, and writer-editor Dean Robinson, have done a masterful job of capturing the history of their community, and condensing it into 1654 pages of well written, well researched, local history that is bound into two hefty hardcover volumes. Loads of releavant photographs with meaningful captions illustrate the work throughout.
