BOOK - Wolfe Island, A Legacy in Stone [Frontenac County, Ontario]
By Barbara Wall La Rocque
Wolfe Island, begins with the emergence of islands at the end of the last ice age and moves through the many centuries of First Nations habitation to the era of French exploration and the fur trading, the arrival of the earliest British settlers and the United Empire Loyalists, up to current time (2009). The development and decline of industry, the evolution of facilities, land title frustrations, and the emergence of a strong sense of identity among the inhabitants are featured, along with a wealth of anecdotes based on colourful and eccentric personalities. Wolfe Island documents the growth of community, the emergence of colourful characters and the legacy of multi-generation families traced back to the island's first settlers. Published Aug 2009.

The Man I Thought Was Grandpa
By Shirley Gage Hodges.
Many of us have wonderful old pictures of people that we have inherited. Often these photos come to us with absolutely no identification. As you are doing your research I would encourage you to check each and every fact. Make sure that the information that you are passing along to your descendants is correct and verifiable. Here's a story that illustrates my point.

New Historical Atlas Promotion
In 2008-2009 we participated in a joint venture to reproduce extremely high quality historical atlases for the Ontario counties of Lanark, Lincoln & Welland, and Middlesex. Also published was an premium historical atlas for the Dominion of Canada. All include beautifully reproduced maps, many in full colour. These atlases are crammed with information about the settlement and development of the counties including maps of townships often with land holders identified by lot and concession. Many drawings of homes and individuals included.
From now until Christmas (or until 100 units of each title are sold), you will have an opportunity to acquire these beautifully handcrafted historical atlases at a significantly reduced cost.
These fine works will serve as excellent research resources, family heirlooms, and ideal Christmas gifts for the history buff in your family.
