"Hello, I have not been convinced about my relationship to the NB Lawtons, although I hoped one existed. But I remember my mother saying (when I was about 12) that a branch of my father's family was from Yorkshire and had known the Bronte sisters. I have never been to Yorkshire, but would love to go. Also loved Wuthering Heights and poetry from that period. "

"Marjorie was my gradmother and I have only the most amazing memories of her, be it the trips to visit her uptown or out to Old Black River Road. She was the MOST amazing person to all of her grandchildren. I still remember every weekend meeting her at Locklomand mall and simply sitting with her for hours talking while she bought us an icecream from the DQ that was in the mall. Those are the memories I will always cherish since she died while I was still young."

"I have many relatives who lived in the area in the early 1900's. My great-great grandparents lived on Cottage Rd and on Mt Prospect. Does anyone know if any books have been written about this area in the late 1800's or early 1900's"

"Wow! I found this page by accident, googling my last name. Don't know if I am remotely related to all of you, since I am from the US, and my family is/was from the south of the US. I do remember hearing that the ancestors in the US were loyalists to Britain, so maybe they were related. Anyway like your group, and the photos of your family and their life in Canada are wonderful. Really unique and special, and I hope to visit your group again."
