Queries & Contributions Artist J. Weykamp Mike & Lesley Stott sent us a copy of their painting done by J. Weykamp that we mentioned in the last newsletter. We have given them the leads that you sent in for them to follow up. Trafalgar Post Offices In response to our Trafalgar Post Office Inquiry... We had a Bradley cousin who found the newsletter on-line respond to find out more about their grandparents! We have connected them with Irene. Ruth Blair also shared a link for Post Masters. http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/post-offices/001001100.01-e.ph Shain Lynn Kenney wrote to point out an error in our on-line transcription of the names on the petition of 2 Jan 1808. Lynn pointed out that the name we have down as "Edward Sisraim?" is actually the signature of Conrad Schön, whose name was later anglicized to Shain. When he signed the petition, he was writing in his native German gothic script. My husband is descended from Conrad Shain's daughter Elizabeth. I hope my correction helps in your tracing the history of the early Halton County settlers. Sheridan Orchestra I am doing historical research on the village of Sheridan, Ontario, which disappeared when the QEW was built. In the 1940s there was a local musical ensemble called the Sheridan Orchestra that played for church socials and various other community events. I have been searching for a picture of the Sheridan Orchestra, but so far without success. I'd like to ask your readers if anyone might have a photograph of the Orchestra. If so, please get in touch with me at edpbutts@yahoo.com.
