I’m Gone. Again.

I heard someone say ‘family reunion’. I am so there. This can only mean lots of family, food, crokinole, Vernors and stories.

Although I love Alberta, the very heart of my family is in the southern counties of Ontario. We have such a history there most town lines have names associated with the family, there are houses that have been in the family for a century or so and one hundred year old ketchup (hello botulism!) my great grandmother made stored away in the cellar.

I will be in Ontario until August 8th however feel free to connect with me through my contact page.

Because I am sure you are dying of curiosity to know who these fine looking people are I will tell you. The fellow to the left with the death grip and welcoming grin is my great great great great grandfather John Ferguson (b. 1804) with his cane from Mississippi. In the middle is the Wigle home in the late 1800s, third from the left is my great great grandfather Norman Iler, to his right modeling the rocking chair Vanna White style is his wife Linnie Wigle Iler, and second from the right is her mother Mary Wright Wigle. The image on the far right is my grandfather, Murrary Ferguson, looking quite suave in his overalls.
