Well, my relatives must've come by boat....as they were turfed during
the Revolution.They chose to become United Empire Loyalists, and
settled in Niagara.
I can trace my relatives in this Continent back 400 years.
The Secords (ever heard the name Laura?) settled in the area, and
Lauras brother David, helped carry Brocks body off the field after he
was mortally wounded in the battle of Queenston Heights.
Its a shame more people cant trace this sort of thing.The family tree
is 5 pages wide.

Laura Secord??? Good Lord...she only saved the country from that
ungrateful rabble in the 13 colonies.
