Born and raised for the most part in Orillia, Ontario, with short stints in Oakville, Fruitland and on top of the mountain in Stoney Creek.
Attended secondary school at Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario and University of Western Ontario (Western University) in London.
I have lived in Calgary AB, Whitby ON, Courtenay BC, but mostly in Orillia ON, where I now reside, retired.
Got interested in my ancestors when I inherited tote boxes of photos & documents from my parents. I'm hooked now. There have definitely been some surprises!
