BOOKS - The Lanark Era - Births, Marriages and Deaths, In Three Volumes [Ontario]
By Peter E. Andersen
Published by Global Heritage Press
These three volumes contain transcriptions of births, marriages and deaths taken from original newspapers and microfilm of surviving issues of The Lanark Era from 1895 to 1936. Also includes transcriptions regarding returning WWI soldiers, and many who did not. The Lanark Era did an exceptional job of publishing relevant information about early local families and also information about those who left Lanark. When volumes one and two were compiled, there were missing issues. Some years later, copies of the "missing issues" were discovered in a private collection. That enabled the third book in the series -- The Missing Years. The combined 3 volumes contain information on more than 45,000 individuals.
Available in hardcover, or all three vols on one CD Rom More information
BOOK - History of Compton County and Sketches of the Eastern Townships, District of St. Francis, and Sherbrooke County [Quebec]
Compiled by L.S. Channell
Originally published by L.S Channell, Cookshire, 1896
This edition published by Global Heritage Press, Milton 1999 (CD 2009)
After more than 100 years, this book is still considered an essential resource for those with an interest in the early settlement history of Commpton County, and its founding families. Filled to the brim with biographical sketches, first-hand accounts, and historical records from a wide array of primary and secondary sources, The History of Compton County will continue to delight readers and researchers for centuries to come. Most information was gathered from old settlers, old newspapers, government reports, municipal records, and written accounts left by some pioneers.

I Thought that Henry Ford was My Grandpa
By: Shirley Gage Hodges
As you may have gathered from my last article I have sometimes had problems identifying my grandfathers. Nicknames can really pose a serious problem particularly when you have never heard a person called any other name than a nickname.

New Historical Atlas Promotion
In 2008-2009 we participated in a joint venture to reproduce extremely high quality historical atlases for the Ontario counties of Lanark, Lincoln & Welland, and Middlesex. Also published was an premium historical atlas for the Dominion of Canada. All include beautifully reproduced maps, many in full colour. These atlases are crammed with information about the settlement and development of the counties including maps of townships often with land holders identified by lot and concession. Many drawings of homes and individuals included.
From now until Christmas (or until 100 units of each title are sold), you will have an opportunity to acquire these beautifully handcrafted historical atlases at a significantly reduced cost.
These fine works will serve as excellent research resources, family heirlooms, and ideal Christmas gifts for the history buff in your family.
