Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I posted here, so I thought I'd do it again. I am researching many families in Ontario, centered in Zorra and Blandford Townships, Oxford County, especially the little farming town of Innerkip. Most of them came to Ontario from the new United States after the Revolutionary War, though how soon after varies a lot (some were Late Loyalists), most of the groups starting out in Niagara before moving on to Oxford County, typically within a generation. However, there is a separate line that came from England in the mid-1800s (also to Oxford County), though many of the next generation moved down to the US in the late 1800s. Some of the many surnames I am researching are Brown, Stewart, Rowel/Rowell, Burch/Birch/Burtch, Evans, and Smith (I know).

Hi Everyone, Nearly all of my family in Ontario can be traced back to Lanark County. As such, I have started a Families of Lanark County group. If any of you are interested in it, it can be found here: http://www.genealogywise.com/group/icantracemyrootstolanarkcountyon...

Looking for living descendants of Stephen Charles Smith and Mellicent "Jean" Teasdale. They married in England during WW I, he was 1st gen Canadian, she was from Co. Durham. He received a medical discharge in 1917 and returned to Canada.
Charles was a steamfitter and lived until 1970. He was born in Bartonville and lived near there in Hamilton until he died with the exception of a few years after the "Great War" in London, ON,
His father was Erdmund (Edmund) Schmidt (Smith) who emmigrated with his parents and sister from Germany about 1850.
His sister married a Waller and had a large family.
I have more data, please let me know if this matches anyone.
