Hi Joanna:
Wishing you had been at the United Loyalist Empire Governor Simcoe Branch's potluck dinner last night in Toronto. At least one other person would have been as excited as I was.
Over the past several months I spent a great deal of time and effort in obtaining a copy of the Declaration of Dependence and trying to decipher the signatures. I had enlarged and printed (plus framed a copy) for our auction last night, and no one seemed interested.
The dinner was held at the Montgomery Inn (another point of interest to you perhaps) which is at Islington and Bloor in Toronto's west end.
Wondering if you have proved your bloodline, as it is the only hereditary title that is given out in Canada (something to be proud of).
If you have not already been on the www.uelac.org you will likely find this website informative.
The Governor Simcoe Branch would love to have you as a member, and our genealogist would be able to help verify your bloodline to your Montgomery ancestors. If you are living in Canada and there is a closer UELAC branch to which you could attend their meetings, might I suggest you become their member. Each branch has a volunteer genealogist, and other members willing to assist. Who knows, you may even meet a distant cousin.
