A light-hearted look at genealogy
by Milt Ten Eycke
As Milt Ten Eycke's fascination with genealogy grew, he began collecting stories about our ancestors. His 36 favourite anecdotes are collected in this book. Some are humourous, some odd, some down right funny, but each reflects a part of the life of our ancestors and puts a "Face" on those in our family "Trees." Some of these interesting looks into our past have been previously published in the newletter of the Ontario Genealogical Society.
From pulling the required wool blankets from caskets, to polling graveyards to make up the quota for electrical service, tips for 1877 stage coach riders, how to properly crank an Old Tin Lizzy, heating your home with farm animals, or surviving your work in a dynamite factory during a lightning storm, Milt has an endearing collection of true stories for your enjoyment.
