> Hi everyone,
> Thanks to several of you who answered my question about the above writer,
I telephoned her this afternoon. She has written a very interesting history
of Otonabee township, east of Peterborough, where Islay folks DIDN"T settle.
>
> So I asked her what her interest was in Islay, and why did she donate 3
lists to the Trent Valley Archives -> she picked them up at the Museum of
Islay Life, Port Charlotte, back in the 80's for other people she knew who
were researching the island.
> She donated them to the Kawartha Area Research Assoc,
> before they had a split with Trent Valley Archives, and the lists ended up
with the wrong organization. (Her book is available for sale at the KARA
office on Hunter St. in Peterborough, if anyone else is interested)
>
> If anyone is going to Islay, would you please try to find out if there are
further lists - ie the other Parishes. It would be great if we could
finally get Kilchoman parish records!
>
> Have a great weekend everyone. I'm heading off to the Fergus Highland
Games - the largest highland festival in Canada.
