BOOK - Tracing Your [British] Air Force Ancestors By: Phil Tomaselli
Whether you are interested in the career of an individual air-man or woman, researching medals awarded to a pilot or crew member or just want to know more about a particular squadron or operation, this book will point you in the right direction. Assuming that the reader has no prior knowledge of the air force, its history or organization, Phil Tomaselli explains which records survive, where they can be found and how they can help you in your research. He also recommends resources available online as well as books and memoirs. More Information: http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/england/military/105010.htm

BOOK - Your Family Reunion: How to Plan it, Organize it AND Enjoy it By George G. Morgan. This book is a guide for organizing a successful and exciting reunion, regardless of whether it is a casual backyard barbecue, a get-together at a hotel or resort, or a weeklong cruise. No matter whether this is your first family reunion or your tenth, the keys to a successful event are to plan and organize a structure for it, get the people together, and provide opportunities for a variety of memory-making activities.

BOOK - The Legacy of John Waldie and Sons: A History of the Victoria Harbour Lumber Company [Simcoe County, Ontario]
By: Kenneth A. Armstrong & Marjorie McLeod. Local history and genealogical connections are part of the Waldie story, headquartered at Victoria Harbour in Simcoe County. Documentation of the forest that the company logged, their nature, amount and sizes of logs harvested with the descriptions of the forests as they are now, throws new light and shatters some of the current myths. This little-known story provides insights into days of rampant entrepreneurialism, the world of the lumber barons and the overall impact on our Ontario forests.

BOOK - Freshwater Heritage, A History of Sail on the Great Lakes [Canada-USA], 1670-1918. By: Don Bamford. This book represents the culmination of a lifelong passion for sailing and for the history of sail as it applies to Canada. Author/sailor/boat builder Don Bamford takes us deep into the psyche of sailing as it applies to historical events on the Great Lakes and to stories of the people and places there at the time.

BOOK - The Last Stand, A Journey Through the Ancient Cliff-Face Forest of the Niagara Escarpment [Ontario]. By: Peter E. Kelly & Douglas W. Larson. Foreword by Sarah Harmer. The Last Stand reveals the complete account of the discovery of this ancient forest, of the miraculous properties of the trees forming this forest (eastern white cedar), and of what is was like for researchers to live, work and study within this forest. The unique story is told with text, with stunning colour photographs and through vivid first-hand accounts. This book will stand the test of time as a testament to science, imagination and discovery.

ARTICLE: Unprovoked Acts of Genealogical Generosity
