The Ottawa Genealogist: January - March 2016

Did you know that Blondin walked on a tightrope stretched across Ottawa's Chaudiere Falls in 1859, shortly after he'd crossed Niagara Falls. He did so three times: without a pole and performing various
tricks; with his pole, blindfolded, and walking backwards at times; a return crossing with 'bushel' baskets on his feet with the aid of a pole. Amazing.

That's from from the regular Old Time Stuff section of Vol 49, no 1, of The Ottawa Genealogist, now available and a benefit for members of Ottawa Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society.

There's plenty of genealogy too.
