On Saturday 25 October at 1:30 pm at the Ottawa City Archives OGS Ottawa Branch presents The Ryan Taylor/J. Brian Gilchrist Memorial Lecture.
"A Research Journey into WWI, WWII, Medals, & eBay"
Dr. Jean-Luc Pilon will describe how twists and turns in his family history research, beginning with ancestors enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force, led to the acquisition of long-lost military medals found on eBay, the story of the local ancestor to whom they were awarded in World War Two, and a moving graveside visit. A short video about this story will also be screened.
This event is free of charge, non-members are welcome to attend.
Dr. Pilon studied Anthropology and Archaeology and obtained his PhD in Anthropology from the University of Toronto.
The meeting will be followed at 3 pm by a get-together for the Computer Special Interest Group.
