  • My Journey: Finding My Grey County Roots
    My Journey: Finding My Grey County Roots Nancy M. Lee When I began my quest to find my family’s history many years ago, I had no idea that I was directly descended from two old farmers from Grey County, Ontario. In the summer of 2007 I discovered a small notebook in my late cousin’s effects that had originally belonged to my paternal great grandfather, James Albert Leraine Miller, which shed the first glimmer of light on where branches of my family may have settled during the mid-1800s. The notebook had the names plus dates of birth of the children and grandchildren of my paternal great grandparents. James Miller was the father of my father’s mother, Adelene Bertha Miller. In James’ own handwriting, he wrote that he was born in Owen Sound on Feb 18, 1866. Up until then I knew next to nothing about James, and I spent the rest of that year trying in vain to find out more about him and his connection to Owen Sound. The following summer, in August 2008, my husband and I ventured up to the Owen Sound Emancipation Celebration Picnic for the very first time. I had a picture of my great grandfather, James A.L. Miller, and the knowledge which I had gained from the little notebook, as well as the 1871 Canadian Census,1 that he was the son of Margaret and Henry Miller. I went to the registration desk and asked if anyone knew anything about the Miller family. I was then introduced to a gentleman who was descended from Thomas Henry Miller, the co-founder of this Emancipation Celebration.

  • The Evolution of the Sexual Division of Labour in Teaching: a Nineteenth-Century Ontario and Quebec Case Study*
    The Evolution of the Sexual Division of Labour in Teaching: A Nineteenth-Century Ontario and Quebec Case Study* by Marta DANYLEWYCZ**, Beth LIGHT*** and Alison PRENTICE*** North American studies of the sexual division of labour in teaching have stressed the connections between the development of urban school systems, the feminization of teaching and the development of occupational hierarchies in the profession. The fact of early feminiza­ tion in most of rural Quebec and in several counties of eastern Ontario, however, revealed the inadequacy of these formulations, leading us to seek alternative explanations. These explana­ tions are presented as they relate to the shifting age structure, ethnicity, and marital and household status of male and female teachers in selected regions of Quebec and Ontario between /85/ and /88/. Dans les etudes sur l'enseignement en Amerique du Nord au I' on analyse La repartition du travail seton le sexe, on a mis /'accent sur les relations entre le developpement de reseaux sea/aires urbains, La fiminisation de l'enseignement et l'amenagement d'une hierarchie des taches ii l'interieur de La profession.
