OGS Toronto Branch Meeting on Monday evening

On Monday at 7:30 pm Toronto Branch of OGS  welcomes genealogist and historian Dan Buchanan to tell the story of the HMS Speedy: Tragedy and Mystery. In October 1804, a British gunboat disappeared in a storm on Lake Ontario near Presqu’ile Point south of Brighton, and all 20 on board were lost. To this day, the circumstances surrounding this tragic chapter in the history of Upper Canada remain shrouded in mystery. Why did the ship set sail to begin with? Who were the people on board and what were their family connections? That's followed by a short presentation on Why you should paint your chromosomes by Linda Reid.
