Greetings. Here is an email, as per below, that just came in from David Sharron - Archivist - Bruce County Museum & Archives - Southampton, Ontario. Thank you very much David! David's email includes a number of websites that are of interest. No doubt www.ourroots.ca will be of benefit to everywhere in Canada. The "search" feature on each publicaton is amazing! In some cases "Tiree" pulled up a number of responses as did "Malcolm Cameron" - my, gr. gr. grandfather http://www.ourroots.ca/e/viewpage.asp?ID=894361&size=2 > first clerk of the North Bruce Baptist Church on the 10th of Bruce of Township! . . .

It is an excellent source for information on the early settling of Bruce County and the table of contents is divided by towns and townships. So it should be easy to find locations along your travel route. Use the search field at www.ourroots.ca to find other digitized books on Bruce County that may hold info on the areas that you are interested in. http://www.ourroots.ca/e/toc.asp?id=2910 - Is a book called "Incidents of pioneer days at Guelph and the county of Bruce" by David Kennedy. http://www.ourroots.ca/e/toc.asp?id=3467 - Is a book on the Knox Church in Tiverton. Here are some other websites that may help you further: http://www.brucecounty.on.ca/museum/ - Museum and Archives page. http://www.chantryisland.com/ - Chantry Island and lighthouse information. http://www.sunsets.com/ - Tourism site for Kincardine, Paisley, Port Elgin, Southampton. http://www.brucecounty.on.ca/ - Bruce County webpage, includes maps. http://www.naturalretreat.com/ - Bruce County's tourism page - very good. I hope that this helps. David ________________________________ David Sharron Archivist Bruce County Museum & Archives P.O.
