The excitement is mounting for my summer vacation this year and Sharon, from Kindred Footprints has written a couple of posts about her weekend in the Niagara region which only made my anticipation grow. She shares some beautiful photographs of some of the historic sites the area in her posts. I am looking forward to going to the Niagara Falls Museum again. Last time I was at Fort George it was pouring rain so I couldn't take any pictures, hopefully the weather will be more co-operative this year.
I am looking forward to going to the Haynes cemetery as well, there may be some connection with my Haines ancestors who settled in Grantham township too. I will also be going to the Arent Bradt cemetery as well as attending the renaming of the Steele cemetery to the Aaron Doan cemetery.
Thanks, Sharon!

A family history blog with genealogy links, resources, ancestors, and related topics.
Welcome to my family history blog. Finding more about my family's history is very rewarding as well as being interesting and educational.
I created this blog to share my thoughts, experiences, tips and resources in my search for my ancestors' history and maybe, help you in your research as well. I am particularly interested in the history of Upper Canada and the Loyalist period in history.
