Page 3 A Family Christmas Gift by Carol Morrow Many people are curious about their roots, where their family came from and what kind of ancestors they had. Were they important, were they wealthy, or famous; where there any war heroes, politicians, or famous doctors; or are there any pirates or scoundrels hiding in the proverbial family closet? Did one of your ances- tors take part in a significant historical event, or invent something important, or perform a great accomplish- ment? At one time or another someone in your family WILL want to know. It may not be you but it may be your children, grandchildren, or some cousin etc. How many of you would love to have the history of your family? Well now is the time for all of you who are interested or who know of someone who might be, to do something about it. Christmas is on its way, and it brings times of gifts. What better gift than to create a family chart or family tree, even a family photo album for your loved ones! Another idea is to create a calendar where you devote each month to a particular indi- vidual with a write-up memorializing that person and how he/ she is related. After the year is over, it can be kept as a family keepsake by the recipient. You can add things like what kind of work they did, where they lived, did they move? Where to? Did they have a farm or own a factory? Add photos in the book, add obituaries, marriage certificates, their children, who they married. Include little stories about them if you can gather them. Talk to other family members or friends to see if they know something. Once you have all your info, what you can do with that will not cost much. Get a binder, pick up some plas- tic page protectors, and some photo paper for your photos; also computer paper, perhaps some labels and get to work. I like to “frame” my pictures with matching or contrasting coloured paper, even using a decorative page as a background mat. Then I write up my blurb and print it out on the clear full sheet labels you can get at Staples. These can be cropped to size and adhered on a blank space on the page, or adhered to a coloured card and placed beside your subject.

  • British Home Child Group International
    November, 2016 British Home Child Group International Marchmont by Sandra Joyce It is estimated that over 10,000 children from different organizations passed through the three buildings known as Annie MacPherson’s Marchmont Homes in Belleville. Annie MacPherson, daughter of a Scottish school teacher and evangelist, was educated in Glasgow and at the Home and Colonial Training College in London. After her father died she moved to Cambridge, but soon after returned. Touched by the dire poverty in the east end of London, Annie opened the Home of Industry in Spitalfield in London in 1868. Located in a former cholera hospital that housed up to 120 children, it was soon full to overflowing and prompted by Maria Rye’s emigration efforts, she began making plans to emigrate children to Canada. The first Marchmont location was opened in 1870 on Murney Hill in Belleville shortly after bringing in a ‘shipload’ of children to Canada with Ellen Bilbrough and Leslie Thom. Annie, Ellen and Leslie quickly realized that their method of distributing the children from their point of entry in Quebec to Hamilton was far from ideal. A shelter to regroup was needed after the long voyage out of which they could recruit placement families. According to James Gilchrist in his book, Marchmont, a letter had been given to Ellen Bilbrough in Quebec, from ‘an aged lady in Belleville saying the she had heard of (their) coming…would (they) leave some boys in Belleville where homes were awaiting them.’ Belleville had a thriving, prosperous community and seemed a prime location to distribute children around south- ern Ontario.

  • Quinte Region Water Budget, and to Initiate Discussions About Drought Management Plans
    1 | P a g e Summary Planning for drought in Ontario has become of increasing concern due to the recurrence of droughts, increased development pressure, and anticipated impacts from climate change. Previous work by Quinte Conservation has identified the region to be vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Some of this vulnerability can be attributed to the high percentage of Quinte Region residents (50 percent of the population) that rely on private wells for water supply. These wells are supplied by a shallow fractured bedrock aquifer with low storage capacity requiring regular replenishment from precipitation to maintain adequate levels of supply. In 2016, a widespread historic drought was experienced in the Quinte Conservation watershed and across Eastern Ontario. During this event, groundwater levels and wells experienced historically low levels with many residents’ wells running dry. Farmers struggled to find alternative supplies to sustain crops and livestock, rural fire protection sources dried up, and low river levels resulted in damaged fish habitat. Municipalities that rely 100 percent on private wells had difficulty obtaining alternative sources of water for their residents. Learning from the 2016 experience, Quinte Conservation recognized the need to develop a drought management plan that would help local municipalities mitigate and adapt to drought. With the support of municipalities within its watershed, Quinte Conservation obtained funding through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). This funding has been used to improve monitoring to deal with drought, assess the potential impacts of climate change, and prepare the following as a drought management plan. This plan provides an overview of the background information about the Quinte watershed and past impacts from drought.
