Hi there, from a fellow Wolfe list reader. In your note, you mentioned "a General Wolfe." I imagine that would be the Gen. Wolfe who was in charge of the English forces which took Quebec back in the 1700s or whenever. Wolfe Island, in Lake Ontario, at the mouth of the St. Lawrence (with a ferry to New York), was named for him. He's very famous -- in English and Canadian history, at least -- so you should be able track down info about him and his family. (Wolfe is the subject of an old nationalist song, much hated in Quebec -- The Maple Leaf Forever. Has a line something like: "Wolfe, the Valiant Hero came, and planted firm Britannia's flag, on Canada's fair domain." Of course, the French he defeated don't feel quite that way...) Wolfe was of English background, but his family may have lived in Ireland. I'm really a bit vague on that bit of history, even though my husband's ancestors were in a Highland Regiment with (?) Wolfe, so I guess I should know more! I'm not connected to the General, although my Wolfe branch, too, is Irish.
