  • The Horan Family Diaspora Since Leaving Ireland 191 Years Ago
    A Genealogical Report on the Descendants of Michael Horan and Mary Minnock by A.L. McDevitt Introduction The purpose of this report is to identify the descendants of Michael Horan and Mary Minnock While few Horans live in the original settlement locations, there are still many people from the surrounding areas of Caledon, and Simcoe County, Ontario who have Horan blood. Though heavily weigh toward information on the Albion Township Horans, (the descendants of William Horan and Honorah Shore), I'm including more on the other branches as information comes in. That is the descendants of the Horans that moved to Grey County, Ontario and from there to Michigan and Wisconsin and Montana. I also have some information on the Horans that moved to Western Canada. This report was done using Family Tree Maker 2012. The Genealogical sites I used the most were Ancestry.ca, Family Search.com and Automatic Genealogy. While gathering information for this report I became aware of the importance of getting this family's story written down while there were still people around who had a connection with the past. In the course of researching, I became aware of some differences in the original settlement stories. I am including these alternate versions of events in this report, though I may be personally skeptical of the validity of some of the facts presented. All families have myths. I feel the dates presented in the Land Petitions of Mary Minnock and the baptisms in the County Offaly, Ireland, Rahan Parish registers speak for themselves. Though not a professional Genealogist, I have the obligation to not mislead other researchers.

Our group brings together many naturalists, environmentalists and local community representatives in the entire South Lake Simcoe Area to ensure the continued protection and expansion of the Greenbelt, and its relation to the Oak Ridges Moraine in our area. The quality of our forests, grassland meadows, natural core and corridor areas determine water quality, nature and human health, and our economy. The Greenbelt Plan is a legacy that we must strengthen and grow if we want to have a healthy environment, a robust rural economy and vibrant natural areas that connect and support Ontario’s rich biodiversity in perpetuity. 1 The common attributes of these three conservation plans are critical for protecting the many natural and cultural values of South Lake Simcoe.

Although the library itself has disappeared, the surprising list of titles collected by Miss Cowie, as well as the lively literary correspondence she left behind in fonds at the University of British Columbia, provides a remarkable snapshot of literary activity in Canada in the 1920s and 1930s. Morley Callaghan, Frederick Phillip Grove, A. M. Klein, Raymond Knister, Dorothy Livesay, Stephen Leacock, Mazo de la Roche, F. R. Scott, and Jes- sie Georgina Sime comprise a small star system of writers typically called upon by present-day university curricula to represent Canadian writing in this era. In spectacular contrast, the eighty-three Canadian writers with whom Cowie corresponded comprise a significantly larger universe of Canadian print culture in the process of expanding, stimulated by a grow- ing reading public, modernizing media, and emerging middlebrow tastes. Many of these writers shaped the terrain of writing in Canada before the canon, and more than a few published whole series of books that now ESC 39.4 (December 2013): 145–171 languish in obscurity despite achieving varying levels of national literary celebrity and prestige in their time.

Davidson takes readers on a trip through art, film, and photography to explore an urban space that is at once familiar and enigmatic: the hotel. As shared sites for both tourists and asylum seekers alike, hotels are touchstones of our multinational landscape. Drawing on examples from Edward Hopper to Alfred Hitchcock, The Hotel: Occupied Space chronicles how the hotel has entrenched itself into our symbolic and physical landscape throughout history. “In the current climate in which “Using a wide variety of representations, “Well written, accessible, and engaging, discussions of toxic masculinity from literature, to autobiography, to lm April in Paris brings together interesting have become more frequent and and non- ction critiques, this book tells and surprising threads in order to urgent, Brad Congdon’s book is the story of the adman, and addresses illuminate modernist culture and its relevant and timely.” the ambivalence that practitioners and in uence on the rest of the twentieth critics have about capitalism.” century.” –Maggie McKinley Harper College –Kathy M.

Recent studies of Cana- dian imperialist thought have examined in depth the relationships between anti- Americanism and Canadian imperialism.2 Certainly for Mazo de la Roche the image of the United States played an important role in supporting the pro-British sentiment and life-style so predominant at Jalna. The period in which the Jalna novels were written (1927-1960) was one of considerable anxiety in Canada regarding the American cultural "take-over" of the Dominion, Royal commissions expressed their concern for the potential loss of Canadian identity and the growing intrusion of American popular culture; move- ments and journals led by Canadian intellectuals showed similar fears.
