Description: The date of death and location is not correct.
My paternal grandmother, Annie Georgina Nelson, died at 90 years of age, on September 20, 1971, not in 1932, as you have listed. And she did not die in Peterborough, Ontario. She passed away in Ottawa, Ontario.
I am the family historian and have been our geneologist for many years.
Thank you for correcting this.

Hi Andrew,
Thank you very much for checking in with me.
It is amazing to think that we can instantly correspond via a computer system.
I have assembled about 350 names, and have my family tree back to the 1750s, and other branches, to the 1500s.
One day, I plan to stay in the U.K. for 6 weeks, walking where my ancestors did, visiting the churches, the port of calls.
And then writing the big family history, complete with photographs, and describing what it really was like, way back, so it brings the family members alive.
I am lucky to have one child, and our daughter is 30 years old. So hopefully, this will be a legacy.
Lots of McFarlane stories. My grandfather did not want to be Irish Catholic. As a Methodist Minister, he wanted to be Scottish Protestant.
So he put the 'a' in between the 'M' and 'c'. Mc became Mac. From the Rev. James William Phee MacFarlane.
Branches of my tree include: McFarlane, Nelson, and on my mother's side, Kendrick, Simon, Claus.
So I have Scottish, northern Ireland, Londonderry, a little bit of England, some German, Wuttemburg, Bavaria,
then Pennsylvania, as in, Pennsylvania Dutch - German, and a touch of Mennonite, then the movement to escape
the U.S.A., moving to Vineland, Niagara, St. Catharines, in Ontario, Canada.
The McFarlane's and Nelson's moving from Ireland to Canada, settling principally in the Ottawa valley.
Three farms. Then all across Canada - Saskatchewan, Alberta, etc.
And my parents, with my grandparents, going to Windsor, Ontario, and Chatham, Ontario.
And the story about Loraine Allison who died with the sinking of the Titanic, 1912.
The wealthy distant relative, George Franklin Johnston, of Westmount, Montreal, Quebec.
My very best to you. One day I hope to visit New Zealand.
I have rowed and raced every boat, since 1973. I raced at the Sydney (Penrith) Australia Olympic rowing course at the World Masters Games in October 2009.
You have the very best sculler ever -- Mahe (spelling, I cannot add French acute accent) Drysdale, and an amazing men's double from New Zealand.
