Photo taken at the Leeds West Yorkshire Archives in the fall of 2013. My wife's Simpson line were tenant land holders and are present in the Idle manor records of the 17th & 18th C. This was my first experience handling parchment.
A little bio: Born in Trenton, Ontario, now retired, and interested in family roots and history for many years. Now I have the time to indulge my interest.

My direct Quinte ancestral surnames are: Saylor, Meyers, Vandewater, Hubbs, Clapp, Yager, White, Marsh, Dings, Vanalstine, Millar, VanKleek, Haviland, Jones.

Happy to hear from you.
