Hi Muriel, Wendy and Listers, There are a number of books which come to mind which deal with eastern Ontario -- Ottawa Valley, Bathurst District and the St. Lawrence. You may want to check out this website: Canada's Local Histories Online -- http://www.ourroots.ca/e/ which has a search engine at: http://www.ourroots.ca/e/search.aspx These books have been published by: Glenn J Lockwood, Diocesan Archivist, Anglican Archives, Ottawa . Beckwith: Irish and Scottish Identities in a Canadian Community online at http://www.ourroots.ca/e/toc.aspx?id=6013 . Montague: A Social History of an Irish Ontario Township, 1783-1980 . The Rear of Leeds & Lansdowne: The Making of Community on the Gananoque River Frontier, 1796-1996. . Soon to be published: The Story of Brockville: Men and Women of a Canadian Community on the American Frontier, 1749-2006. History of the Ottawa Valley: a collection of facts, events and reminiscences for over half a century by Gourlay, John Lowry This is in French but you could try one of the page translator websites: http://babelfish.altavista.digital.com/translate.dyn Histoire de la Province ecclésiastique d'Ottawa et de la colonisation de la Vallée de l'Ottawa History of the Ecclesiastical Province of Ottawa and the Colonisation of the Ottawa Valley You could also try the electronic service of Library and Archives Canada: http://www.collectionscanada.ca/index-e.html They even have publications by my ancestor Alexander Somerville 1811-1885 who travelled Ontario and wrote journals about his experiences.
