Advance notice: Ryan Taylor memorial lecture

Now that Fall is officially here those of us in Ottawa should make sure to circle Saturday, 15 October for the annual Ryan Taylor Memorial Lecture. 

If you have immigrant ancestors, and who doesn't, you will enjoy the lecture, this year given by New-England based Leslie Albrecht Huber. She has Swedish, German and English (Buckinghamshire) ancestry and her talk The Journey Takers, is also the title of her recent award winning narrative nonfiction book.
