BARB'S GENEALOGY TIDBITS- BOOK REVIEWS FOR KAWARTHA BRANCH

 I can not help every branch to which I belong.

So I decided since I have written a series of articles on Ball Point Mariposa Township City of Kawartha Lakes ( Victoria County) I would try to use my resources for that branch.

To add some filler to the Kawartha Branch newsletter I have written several reviews on books from the area.

It is surprising how much information gets accumulated but is not used for my own family lines. So sharing this information and hoping someone can use it.

Books Reviewed- Mariposa Township

The Scugog Carrying Place

On the Shores of Scugog

Scugog and its Environs

Anyone interested in a review can contact me and I can forward to you. Or just look up these resources online.

BARB'S GENEALOGY TIDBITS-SUPPORT TO KAWARTHA BRANCH

 Belonging to several branches of OGS it is difficult to be as supportive to every branch.

The York Region branch is good but I lived in this area and have no ancestral connections. So I have posted pictures and wrote one short article on where I live.

I submitted articles over the years to the Durham and Leeds and Grenville branches.

Kawartha Branch has more of my articles especially the Ball Point series. Lots of research notes on City of Kawartha Lakes, former Victoria County. So joining with the few active members that keep the branch moving and shaking I have started to write book reviews. 

I will be perusing all my research notes on all of City of Kawartha Lakes not just Mariposa Township.

Any article or essay often has lots of information not needed or used. However there could be someone out there who may benefit from it.

Branches survive with volunteer participation. So I am trying to be more active with my branches.

I have chosen in the last two years to put my essays or articles on this blog. I find it is easier not to have my writing overly edited.

But contributions to newsletters are important too.

So I may rework some of my posts to put in the Kawartha newsletter as well as other branches.

Genealogy needs contributions of members. So pick a branch or group and submit your family history and information
